Will change them with tubeless tyres in March.
Tubeless tyres has some kind of special corner/interior side for better holding to rim...

On my 1985 r80rt the front leaks in the seal between rim and wheel. Aftertryingtwo different make sof tyre I ended up putting atube in it. result no leak. I would not recommend fitting tubed tyre to tubeless rims, you may want to fit tubes there.
I might add since 1961 I have twice had tyre sealing problems. both cases were tubeless tyres on aluminium rims. These wre the only times I have run tubeless tyres on alloy rims. So I have a 100% record of failure with that combination. ( other instance was ford with alloy rims, cured by fitting steel rims). Oddly the rear on my BMW is fine, so it can work
