hey everyone I have a 1982 Suzuki GS 750 T and I am getting new tires changed. The guy who was changing my tires says I need a tube. It wrote tubeless on the tire but he is saying I need tubs. just want to know if these tires come with tubes in them

The tire is not the only part that is involved in holding air. Some of the early WHEELS (your '82 might be one of them) are not certified for tubeless use, so the use of a tube is recommended.
No, the tires do not come with tubes, they must be purchased seperately.
Also wondering, ... how does this fall into the "Apearance" category?
Probably should have been in the "Tires/Suspension/Brakes" category.

What Steve says. The wheel will say "tubeless tire applicable" along the rim if you don't need a tube on it. If you don't see that anywhere, assume it needs a tube. Most (all?) tires can be used with a tube even if they say tubeless on them.
There was a thread on this recently where some people said they have run tubeless tires on a wheel not marked as such and haven't had any problems. But my instinct is to use a tube where Suzuki says you should.
And don't assume that both tires are the same... on my bike, the front needed a tube while the rear did not. (So if you're in the market for a 17" tube, let know, I have one to sell.

If you have tube wheels I don't think you can put a tubeless valve stem in without machining the wheel.Comment
