Since the wheels on my bike are spoked and will not seal the tire can these tires be used with a tube and if so should I replace those as well?

Yes u can mount them with a tube. If your tube looks good you can reuse it. It is a good ideal to have a bike shop mount and balece them so you don't pinch the tube

Yes , you have to use a tube . Always replace the tube and spoke band when replacing tires.

While the tires can be used tubeless, your wheels dictate that an inner tube needs to be used. Yes I always replace the inner tube when replacing a bike tire. For the minor amount of cost you have lots of peace of mind. My wife has a Vulcan cruiser and just loves these tires. Way better than stock rubber from Kawasaki(Dunlops)

It is the same for a tubed tire. Remove the bead from one side of the tire. Clean the inside of the tire. Then lay the tube inside and push the valve through. Put the nut on the valve & tighten it. Re-press the bead to the inside of the rim & add air to the tube to seal the bead.

This is a tube that is fill with "slime". It will seal an small punctures by itself. I ride in areas with a lot of rocks and my bike was out in the sub zero temps all winter. The tires are still full of air. Good tubes, just wish the rubber was a little thicker.

Yes but you only need to replace the inner tube. I bought on at Northern Tool +Equipment. Get size that fits tire and bye two!!!! Make sure they have the bent valve stems like original. Tubes that are supplied are junk!! I paid $9.99 each. Go on line if no store is near you. Dale

They are not tubeless. Use a tube recommend for your size tire. Generally the lightest weight tube you can find. This tire has good puncture resistance so you do not need a heavy tube.

yes you can use tubes for tubeless tires but you should make sure tires don't have anything in them that can make tubes go flat also make sure wheels are clean

Hi K,I would say the tube is too large. I tried to fit it into a 700 X28 and had a overlap of at least an inch, making it impossible to fit into the tire. Of course I was many miles from the nearest bike shop, fortunately I had one regular 700 25 to 32 I could put in. The other part of this mis adventure was Carolina Cycles refused to honor the fact that they sold me two tubes that were basically worthless. Do not do business with them.

If you have split rims yes. If not no. But if the rims are not in good shape tubes are a good idea. I have them in mine

Though it took me a little while to install them, I've never had a problem with them blowing out, or the inner tube slipping out. Just make sure that you got the correct size tires. It took me a while to figure out these unusual (to me at least) sizes. I believe that they are not an American standard size. If you're trying to fit it on a true American sized wheel, they won't fit. I hope this was helpful.

yes they are tubeless if you have the right set of rims..the ones that doesn't bolt together.. but if I was buying tires again I would put tubes in them

These wheels are not tubeless ready and will need to be run with tubes. I paired them with Vittoria Rubino Pro Slick tires.

I believe the tires are standard 12" tires. Head to the local bike store...not box store...they should be able to help. Must be putting some miles on it to wear out a tire...bike on!!!!!!!

I used them on a Mongoose mountain bike. They seemed to work fine for about a month until a broken spoke caused severe damage (unrelated to the bearings).

Not sure how to help you here. The bike I purchased had a slow leak in one of the tubes that I ended up taking to a bike store to have replaced for $7. I don't think the tubes are that high quality.

Keep in mind some motorcycles have tubes. On a tubeless tire I would consider it with an experienced rider and no other options, although a physicsl plug is a much better option

No you can't use them they are wider and will not fit, I will recommend this tubes [Avenir Regular Schrader Valve MTB Tube (26 x 1.50-1.75)] or any other brand of your preference in this size.
