You can use "tubeless" tires with tubes inside. The maxxis are marked tubeless and what I & a few members here currently have front and rear with tubes inside. Maxxis doesnt specify either way exactly on the tire that you "can" go with tubes, but the dunlop whitewalls rated tubeless actually say on the side "in case of tube tire use tube"

Im not sure what sizes you'll be able to get for the front without a fender modification though. I just ride with no front fender.
