Run any tire you want. We have rims that leak air, so we have tubes, but a tubeless tire works fine with a tube in it.

"Installed" can be read 2 ways. Yuo ride the bike in, they pull wheels & reinstall freshly shod wheels, Very spendy.

Installed can be, you walk in with wheels in hand & they replace the rubber, much less spendy..

you can use the 140/90 but you still need a tube

Can the old tube be used with a new tire?

I am guessing yes, but thought I would ask anyway.

Peace!

I would think if there less than 5 years old,I never changed tubes when I changed tires but they weren't real old.

If you get a new tube for the rear, consider one with a 90° bent stem. It makes air checks much easier. It might have to be ordered-in for you, but they work well.

I have the MT66 Route tires and I like them a lot. Much better than the OEM IRC.

I've got MT66 tires too. IIRC, the tube-only front tire has fewer plys then the tubeless version.

You can reuse tubes,.. if you're Bill...
but, ;D
It's recommended that you replace the tubes with new tires,.... once they've been inflated for a period of time, they loose elasticity and are more likely to get pinched or inflate a little twisted in the new tire....
I never used to,.. when I rode dirt bikes, 'cause I got flats all the time, but now, I go ahead and replace the tubes too.
Definitely get a 90' angle valve stem and tell them to mount it to the brake side...
