Tubeless tires

I recently came into some tubeless MTB tires, but don't have tubeless rims.
Can the tires be used with a tube on my conventional clincher rims?
(They're Hutchinson Python Lights 26x2.0 and are marked "UST", "Nagesti",
and "VST"
on a "compatibility" sticker on the sidewall)

Thanks.

Yes. I'm doing that with some myself for the same reason.

Yes. Might be a bit heavy, but will work fine.

(You can also try the Stan's No Tubes system to use Tubless {sic -- correct
Usenet term} tires on your conventional rims. Or "regular" tires, too, for
that matter.)
