Default What tires will work with tubes?

Hi, new to forum. I have a 2005 Suzuki C50, about 7500 miles on it so far, and was beginning to look at my options for replacing the tires. I was told that I could not use a tubeless tire. I have noticed in catalogs, that they list tires that are to be used with tubes, but I can never find the size that I need for my Suzuki. 130/90 16 front & 170/80 15 rear

I was in a wreck last November and had to have the front tire and rim replaced, and I noticed the dealership charged the insurance company over $150 for the tire and tube combination, not including mounting. When I need to replace the back tire there's no way I'm going to pay that much.

Can you use a tubeless tire of any brand and use a tube with it?
