on a michelin commander 11, does it matter if it is tubed or tubeless?

Utlimatemotorcycling.com has a review that states it can be installed with or without. Mine is installed tubeless. I would call Michelin and ask for more specificity.

tube or tubeless is based on rims. if you have spokes you need tube and rim strip. I have said it before this tire I based on what your after. life of tire or performance. don't buy it if you are running a 130 size rear tire and want to take corners hard. just a heads up

The tire IS tubeless and it is an exact EOM remplacement for the LT2000 Craftsman mower/tractor (2008 version!!). If you feel you need a tube, I would recommend going to your neighborhood Tractor Supply-their prices are MUCH better than anything I found anywhere else-even AMAZON!! Any brand of a 18X9.50-8" tube should work quite nicely-and they're at least $3 to $5 cheaper than the other stores!

Hello Vince, to be honest with you either tube will work, but I would personally go with a smaller tube because they are just easier to install on the fly...

Yes,unless its a very old vehicle it will have tubeless tires,you can also look on the sidewall of the tire and it will state whether its tubeless or not.

No, I believe some people are running them with kits, but they are not tubeless from the factory.

Hi,Yes use the tube and liner, they say tubeless but there versatile, I used new liners and tubes and these tires are awesome in wet as well. Hope I was able to help you with this question.

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)

Like the others have said, it's the tube you need to be concerned about. Tires don't have valves.

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

This tire was put on the rear of my 1200 Sportster. It was mounted on a mag rim that is tubeless. Why spend the extra money for tubes, they are made for tubeless. So far very happy with this tire, great handling.

As far as I know and I am in no way a mechanic this tire needs no tube. My tires arrived I took them to my local dealer with my old wheels, he took of the old and put on the new for about 10 bucks a tire. No tube required at least he didnt charge me for any if they were needed

I run Michelin Commanders on my '02 Road king, front and back, on tubeless mag rims and love them. Bike handles great and get upwards of 10,000 miles on the rear and better than twice that on the front.

These tires are NOT tubeless ready. Those versions are typically around $80 ish.

It's not like mastic for a tubeless MTB tire. It's a greasy water based lubricant to ease the install of motorcycle tires. The compound may also help "seal" the bead, but I think would be a secondary, unintended function of this product.

As far as I understand it will work on any tubeless tire,I used it on my motorcycle tire and it worked very well.

No the Carlisle Turf Saver is a tubeless tire. I had to clean my rims well to insure a good seal to the tire and install a new value stem. Of course you could install tubes if your rims are not made for tubeless tires. They are performing very well on a Craftsmans two wheel trailer that I have used for about 20 years. Hope this helps
