Is this tyre legal for road use?

It refers to the width (2.50 inches) and the rim diameter (18 inches) that this specific tyre fits.
Can I use this tyre on a tubeless rim?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure safety and performance, professional mounting is highly recommended. Since this is a tube-type tyre, you must ensure you purchase the correct size inner tube compatible with the 250-18 designation.
- Inspect the rim for any sharp edges or corrosion before mounting.
- Always use a fresh inner tube to prevent potential punctures.
- Inflate the tyre to the specific PSI recommended by your motorcycle manufacturer, not just the maximum limit listed on the tyre wall.
- Regularly check for debris embedded in the tread to maintain optimal grip.
- Monitor tyre pressure at least once a week, as consistent pressure is the most important factor in extending the life of your tyre.
