I am looking to buy new tires for my kz650. I have a set of bridgestone spitfire s11's right now. I was going to get another set of these but on all of the websites I see all of the S11's are TUBELESS? Can I run these with a tube? I have spoke wheels so I assume there is one in mine right now, I have never had them off since I got it. Are there any other tires in this same price range that anyone recommends?

I have Spitfires on my 900 A4 WITH tubes in them...I have been happy with them. They are not exactly what one would consider a perfomance tire, but mine scrubbed-in nicely and have a pretty good wear life.

you can add a tube to any tire for a spoke rim

I put the same tires on last year. Didnt need/use tubes tho.
I like them...ALOT. Dunno the mileage, but LOTS of runs to southern part of state and tons of back and forths to here and there....They arent the stickiest (by reputation), but they do nice for me in my more...uh...well...."spirited" moments.
