Default Tubeless Tires

I know this has undoubtedly been asked a thousand times in the past but I am going to ask again,

Are the tires on a 2015 Ultra Limited actually mounted without tubes?

I know the tire said's tubeless on the sidewall, but does the MOCO actually mount them without tubes?

I reckon your owners manual should confirm that - unless you skipped a page or two while browsing through it! The only wheels likely to use tubes are conventional wire-spoked ones. My 1990 Glide, owned from new, came with cast wheels and tubeless tyres, with no tubes. Rest easy!

I figured it would have tubeless / tubeless just thought I would ask the pro's, I believe my Heritage was tubeless / tubed, planning a long trip and purchased a tire plugging kit with CO2 filler and also a small 12v compressor by "Slime" to add to my onboard self rescue kit. The little compressor had some great reviews for both filling a flat once plugged and using for top off during regular tire maintenance.

Wise to ask - that combo wouldn't work with a tube!

Your tires on that bike are in fact "Tubeless".
They are just like car tire in that area.

The tire kit you got will work for your tires.
