[Closed] tubes on tubless tires

Hi. I bought a ktm aera comp 29er with tubless ready schwalbe rapid ron tires. Turns out the bike had inner tubes in and pumped to 30psi, took the bike for a spin and it cornered perfectly. This morning i swapped the tires over for some schwalbe smart sam with inner tubes for a muddy ride coming up and inflated to 30psi. Every time I corner it feels like the back moves out and jolts, feels like the bike wants to throw you off on a fast cornet. I assume its fine to put tubes and smart sam 2.25 on a tubeless ready rim?? Or am i wrong? Thanks

Yes you can put tubes in any tubeless ready tyre or rim

The feeling youre experiencing sounds like your rear tyre losing grip and then catching itself and getting traction again. Could be a function of the tyre tread pattern, tyres too hard and therefore breaking away too easily or it could just be the trail surface especially if it's a muddy ride as you mentioned. Try dropping the psi down to around 25 and see how you get on as first port of call
