A tubular tire is a tire where the air bladder, the more durable outer rubber and the cloth layer(s) giving it all strength is assembled (and treated by the rider) as one unit. It needs a special rim where it's glued in place on to a shallow concave surface. To the extent they're still used they're almost exclusively used for road bikes, although TUFO have a MTB version as well. Tubeless today usually means the so called UST tires. They're used together with special valves, rim tapes and liquid sealants to get a wheel very similar to car wheels in construction. But don't forget the old,( a.k.a. clincher tire) that's used together with a separate inner tube. The tire cross section is like the letter U, and it's used together with a rim that's also like an U. Rim lips are pointing out and overlapping the tire lips that are pointing in.

can you use a tube in a tubeless ready bycicle tire?
Yes, you can use a tube in a tubeless-ready bicycle tire, although it may not provide the same benefits as a tubeless setup. A tubeless-ready tire is designed to run without an inner tube, creating a seal against the rim that holds the air in place. When used with a tube, the tire will function in much the same way as a traditional tire and tube setup, but it may not provide the same level of puncture protection or weight savings as a true tubeless setup. Additionally, some tubeless-ready tires may not be compatible with certain types of tubes, so it's important to check the manufacturer's specifications before using a tube in a tubeless-ready tire.
