    Hey guys,

    I need some info on running a Pirelli MT90 Tube tire on an XJ 650 4K0 from 1982.
    I know the rims on these bikes are tubeless and i wonder if i need to run a tube or i can use it without tube and with a little more pressure to keep the bead seated?

    Regards,
    Bogdan

    None of you have tried to fit a tube type tire on a tubeless rim ? :(
    I really like the profile of this tire and also i will be running 60% on road 40% dirt roads, so i need to know if i can fit it without a tube or i need to order one.

    Tube type tires require a tube. Period. Should go on the rim just fine.

    Tubless tires are much less prone to sudden, catastrophic pressure loss. I'd seriously consider finding a different tire.
