You can run a tubr in them, no problem, unless the tube gets pinched or kinked?
Plus with tubeless you can carry a patch/plug kit with you for emegencies!
Can't plug a Tubeless tire?
Personaaly I think it's a waiste of a good tire to put a Tube in a tubeless?
Some "Old Schoolers " still do it because they thimk it makes it more secure?

Zorba,I`m not putting tubes into new tires because I WANT to,I`m doing it because I don`t have a choice.Thanks

The simple answer to your question is yes, you can use tubeless tyres with a tube (the OEM tyres that my T100 came with are tubeless types fitted with a tube). As usual, there are some provisos, eg. if the tyre is a radial type then ensure that the tube you use is marked as suitable for use with a radial tyre. There are some useful tips on the Dunlop website HERE. I suggest you read the sections on front/rear tyre matching, tubes and tube-type rims.

Go to Cycle Gear by the Tacoma Mall, they should have or be able to get what size you need. I've got some screaming deals on tires there.

I suppose you could put a little drop of silicone seal on each spoke nipple and run tubeless.......

Hey, you're a welder, just run a bead around each spoke and seal it up then you won't have to worry about tubes anymore!
