maybe you need to pick your tomatoes a little earlier

If you wait until the tomatoes are superripe, the skin will split. It won't matter if you don't pick them--the skin will split if you leave them on the vine, too.
If you pick them slightly less ripe, the skin will remain intact. Fruit continues to ripen after it is picked, and tomatoes are a fruit.
