Don't worry about a tubeless tire just yet, that's over complicating things, and I can see is causing you to fret... Take a deep breath, and then, just get some tubes, don't worry about a tubeless conversion. You could probably just run the stock tires with new tubes. As everyone else has said, the stock tubes are crap anyway, it's not a fault of the actual bike itself. Be sure that there is a rim strip, make sure that spoke aren't protruding, check that the chain is tensioned and lubricated, check the oil (change it if you haven't already), tire pressure, and ride it.
