Use tubes in tubeless?

I found a great price on a pair tubeless tires. My spoke wheels probably
won't like them without tubes.

Is there any reason not to use tubeless tires on spoke rims with tubes?

These will be used mostly on roads, some trails, parks. No jumping, dropping,
etc.

Thanks.

Not so supple as running without tube. pPossibly not as supple as
aregular casing and tube. Pro's: if the casing is self healing then
puncture resistance should be improved in relation to a regular casing
and tube. Worth a whirl if the price is right.

They're 26x1.9

They'll be heavier than regular tires. Might be hard to mount (designed to
be very tight fit).

There are gajillions of cheap tubed tires out there; why go with these?

You can use a tube with any tubeless tire.

You'll be fine. However, if you wanna go tubeless, a Stan's Kit isn't
too expensive, about $50. It comes with rim strips with valves, and a
bottle of sealant. Google "stan's no tubes". The main point is to be
able to run stupid low pressures without pinches, but the regular flat
prevention is pretty cool too. A bit of a PITA to set up, you'll
really want an air compressor to seat the tire.
