That seems to be a popular tire for the R65, quite a few members use them .

I thought so and was going to purchase then noticed that Bridgestone lists the fronts as tubeless.

You can put a tube inside a tubeless tire, no problem there .

There is a thread here about running tubeless tires on snowflake and LS 'composite' wheels .

Some owners run without tubes, some use them .

It can be done, but BMW cautions about not using tubes .

It's your call there .
