Yes, you can. You will want to dismount the tire from the rim and make sure there is no dirt inside the tire. Take a rag and wipe the inside of the tire out and check for anything poking through the tire -- nails, tacks, thorns, etc. Check for cord damage. If any of the cords are pulled away from the tire on the inside sidewalls, stop and replace the tire with a new one. Also check for sidewall cracking; if you have sidewall cracking, stop and replace the tire with a new one, because the tire could explode when putting air in it.
Make sure you get the proper tube for the right size tire. If it is a 480-8 tire you need to get a 480-8 tube. After you cleaned and inspected the tire, remove the tubeless valve stem from the rim with a side cutter or knife. Lubricate the beads with some dish soap. Mount one bead of the tire on the rim, install the tube making sure the valve stem is pointing up. Push the valve stem though the rim hole, holding it with a needle nose pliers. Mount the last bead on the rim. Make sure you don't pinch the tube. Be sure the valve stem is coming straight through the valve hole in the rim. Give it a little air at a time until you seat the beads. Do not exceed the maximum air pressure on the tire. Warning: a small tire will fill up really fast so be careful not to over-inflate.
If you're not sure what you're doing, take it to a professional tire man. Mounting and inflating tires can be very dangerous, so use extreme caution!

Can you use tubeless dunlop d404 tire in place of tube type dnlop d404 tire for a 2006 kawasaki vulcan classic lt?
I'm not sure there are two different tires, one tubeless and one for tube use. I think they all say "Tubeless" on the side, but you certainly can put a tube in it for a spoked wheel.

Do car tires have inner tubes inside of them?
Older cars had them (50's and back). The tubeless tire came around somewhere in the 60's. Very few have them today. You can put a tube in any tire, though. People do that if the tire or rim won't hold air. This means there is damage and tire and/or rim should be replaced. Big trucks even had tubeless tires now although more of them still use tubes today.
Can you put a tube in a riding lawn mower tubeless tire to repair leak in side of tire?
Yes you can I have done on 2 different older lawn & garden tractors I own. As the tires age they can develop small side cracks that allow air to escape. Yet, the tire is basically still good with lots of tread. I went to tire store in our area and had them order and install a tube into the tire.

Can i have tubeless tires on a mountain bike if my rims are bent?
No. Or, not with a reasonable amount of effort. A tubular tire gets its name because, well - it's tubular. It's like a length of garden hose joined end to end and the tube is already in it. It would be possible to cut it open, insert a tube and then stitch it back together again, but it would be a huge effort for very little merit. And it'd still not fit a clincher rim, the diameters are slightly different but more importantly the tubular tire doesn't have the reinforced edge required to make it stay put on a clincher rim.

Depends on how bad the sidewall damage is. If it's just a hole it'd be OK, but if it's a tear the tube will poke out and probably burst.
