it can be used with or without tube but with spoke rims you will need a tube

Any standard tube will do...I purchased new tubes when I installed my tires..it's been no problem since.

I bought the 29er and mounted it with the Stans no Tube kit. No issue! I've been riding this tire for a year now, great traction, rolls well. I like it!

It is only one tire. You do have to order a tube if your tube is for a mtn bike like mine was.

Standard bike tubes...I just got mine at a bike shop...very cheap. Hope that helps. Kv

John H. answer below is comprehensive, and they are definitely not a mountain bike tire, but I am planning to eventually replace them with a slightly more road less mountain oriented tread design in the hope of getting a lower rolling resistance.

It is just the tire only, if the wheel rim is in good shape you won't need an inner tube. Unless you have experience and tire tools, it is worth taking the tire shop, it shouldn't more than $10 dollars depending on where you live.

They are tubeless. I took mine to a local tire shop to have them mounted on the rims and have valve stems installed.

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)

I had put ~1700 miles on the stock tires before they badly needed replacing. I replaced them with 700x23C Continental tires. I forgot which type but they have been the best tires I've had. As for tubes I just get 700x23C presta with 48mm stem

Check your rim and tire sizes carefully. The only bike I know that had a special rim was a Schwinn in the late 50`s thru the 70`s. Maybe someone swapped the rims? Western Flyer was sold by Western Auto and should have a standard rim.

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.

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

The Michelin Commander II's are all Tubeless tires which can be run with a tube for spoked wheel applications. The Commander II's come in both Radial and Bias Ply depending on the size of the tire and both are Tubeless tires than can be used with a tube if needed for a spoked wheel application. Very important to use proper spoke -tube protector band and use compatible tube for tire designation.. JW ps.I am very pleased with Michelin commander 11 performance, you will like these tires..

Yes. I have a Yamaha Roadliner which is tubeless. I might add the commander is one of the best handling tires I have used. Should close to double your mileage as well.

Tubeless. I put them on a john deere x740 ultimate and they have been great.

Mag wheels are typically Tubeless. I wouldn't hesitate to use this with mag wheels.
