For some reason I am having a brain fart about this. Just bought a warp9 supermoto front wheel with tire mounted on ADV rider. Now I am trying to plan out my purchase of the warp 9 rear wheel and tire. The front tire has a Michelin Road Pilot 3 tire mounted, and from what I can see on the net, that is a tubeless tire? Do I need to order a tubeless tire to go with my rear Warp9 wheel?
I think I just order any tire and put a tube in regardless since its a spoked wheel?

I would imagion it wouldnt make any difference of a tubeless front running with a tubed back, as long as they are both balanced properly shouldnt give you any issue

I think there would have to be a tube though, with a spoked tire the wheel itself is not sealed so it would not hold air without a tube?

No, warp 9 rims have regular functions spokes just like our stock tires.

There are some options to make a spoke wheel tubeless but I'll put cash on there being tubes in them, tubless tires or not. Just using a tubeless tire doesn't make a rim tubeless.
