I'm not positive, but I think the rear tire is tubeless. The front ahs a tube because of the spoke wheel. At least that is what I have read. : )

That just means that the tire itself is rated, and can beused without a tube.
But no itre can be run tubeless on a spoke wheel because the spokes coming through the rim makes for a built in leak at every spoke hole.
Mag wheels on the other hand are solid and only have the one hole for the valve in them. So you can run a tire without a tube on them very easily.

There are Tubeless Spoke Rims Out there. But 99.9% you should have a tube in that tire.

Always one way to find out.

Yea, it's has a tube on the spoke wheel despite the tire being capable of being run tubeless. It's tubeless application is for non-spoke rims...
&nbsp\\;
But here's the clincher isn't the front tire 21" a biasply tire? And the rear 20055R17 tire a radial?
&nbsp\\;
Does anyone make a MH90-21 radial?
