These are tube tires. If it were tubeless I would be more concerned about the age of a tire.
Take a screw driver and scrape the face should let you know if they still have adequate grip for an R50.

Bench Mark Works sells (or did sell) Avon Roadriders which are a nice sticky compound, exactly what I am looking for.
However these have been replace by Roadrider IIs. Which is a tubeless tire.
Now obviously you Could put a tube in a tubeless tire, but it is usually not advised.
Anyone using these?
