I have Michelin X tires on a nice set of chrome wire wheels.  The tires are
old.  Dumb question # 69,  rather than replace with Michelin X, can I put on
a new radial tire over the tubes?  I really like the Kumho Solus KH16 205 70
15 95 H.  Great price and great performance rating in that size.  

Thanks in advance,

Jim Henningsen

James,
Are you asking if it is OK to put new tires over old tubes?   When I was 20 I=
 probably would, and did, but now for about the cost of a 5th tire I conside=

Technically, no, almost all new tires are not rated for use with tubes (and the tube does affect the tire's load rating).  But in
practice, lots of people do it with no problem, since your TR is much lighter than the load rating anyway.

I have heard of shops that refuse to install tubeless tires with tubes, but most will.

Oh, and like Bill said, use new tubes!  They get old just like tires do
