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,
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...
