I would not use the stock tube- I would go to a heavy replacement tube. Also if you have a 250 you don't have rim locks. Add one you will be gald you did.
Also I alway match the tube size to the tire size, most people will say if it is close it is ok- but if one sze fit all- why would they make 30 differant sizes?

Get the Motion Pro long spoons. And, definitely get the heavier duty replacement tube. Rim locks are a good ideahowever, if you only use one and ride at highway speed you will need add a second rim lock or you will need to balance your wheel.

A more correct size would have been the 120/90. And definitly get a new tube of correct size. Nothing sucks worse than having to do the work again if the tube is leaking.

If you are planning on running the tires below 20psi, then get 2xrim locks. I never run the tires below the 20psi so I don't use the rim locks. Haven't had a problem, yet!?

I've got two sets of tire irons. 15" for using at home and 8" for carrying in my trail pack. If you're picky about how your rims look, get a set of rim protectors. Tie the rim protectors together with about 18" of string. You'll be glad you did. Spring for the heavy duty tube and rim lock(s) for front and rear. I get by just fine with one rim lock on each wheel, typically running 10-12 psi for trail use.
