Basically, yes. The steel wheels would take any appropriate tubeless tire.
Wire wheels usually require a tube (and a liner on the rim to protect the
tube from the spoke ends and such). At one time, I believe the Goodyear
G800S red line and Michelin red line tire was produced in both tube-type
and tubeless versions, depending on the type of wheel (as were various
other tires at the time for LBCs). I don't know which type the current
Michelin red line tire is. Perhaps they still make both?
