Spoke wheels can be sealed to run tubeless tires without a tube.
Some have had excellent success sealing their wheels but others have had only failures.
Our Drifter spoke wheels require a tube unless they have been sealed.
I have tubes in my tubeless tires as do most of us.

- November 29, 2018, 15:40:59 PMOkay... first if you haven't changed the wheels you have SPOKED rims. You MUST use a tube. Second, all large displacement motorcycle tires are TUBELESS (with few exceptions). SO, you want to buy a tubeless tire, a tube and a rim strip for each tire. That's how your bike came OEM, btw.

My question is, did I must to buy tube tire or can I use tubeless tire?
Drifter manual says that Drifter tires must to be a tube tires and only Tourer model can use tubeless tires.
