Yes for sure. I believe that all ‘tubeless’ rated tyres can be run with tubes, but as they are redundant on tubeless rims “why bother?”
100% recommend you find a mechanics with Bike-Seal, for peace of mind.

Airhead
Managed to get the rear on but resorted to the compressor again. After the beads seated I thought it would be a good time to read the warnings and instruction sticker! Turns out 57psi is the max and they like you to have the wheel strapped down and a remote way of operating the air supply. I wouldn't be typing this now if it had exploded obviously :)
I'm going to have to do some research on how to handle this at the roadside but I will guess that new tyre beads are harder to seat. I cleaned the inside of the rims but it didn't make the job easy enough to do first time.
I was mistaken about the tyres though, they are in fact rated for tubes.
I think it's a job everyone should do once, nice to learn a bit about such a basic bit of bike engineering.
