Can Motorcycle Tubeless Tires Get Damaged?
2 Answers
Tubeless tires won't leak air as long as puncturing objects are not removed. Advantages and disadvantages of tubeless tires: Tubeless tires are more durable than traditional pneumatic tires, making them more suitable for long-distance and high-speed driving. They offer better dynamic balance performance and improved driving comfort. However, poor quality, damaged tire casings, weak sidewalls, and low lateral tolerance can lead to reduced load capacity, potentially causing some tires to lose air suddenly. Tubeless tires: Except when punctured, tubeless tires generally do not deflate on their own. Therefore, it's essential to use a pressure gauge to check and maintain the required pressure during inflation, rather than relying on the feel of regular tires to determine if inflation is needed. The chassis is specifically designed to accommodate jacks and clamps in appropriate positions. Then, by using a torque wrench in a counterclockwise direction, the nuts can be loosened at an angle to replace the tire. When using sharp objects with tube tires, avoid punctures, stabs, and contact with acids, alkalis, or oil stains, as these can accelerate rubber degradation.
Recently, my motorcycle's tubeless tire got damaged once, which was really frustrating. Tubeless tires can indeed fail, like when punctured by a nail or cracked due to aging, causing the air to leak out. I used to think tubeless tires were more durable, but in the city, constantly running over broken glass or small stones can wear down the tire edges over time, and incorrect tire pressure can also accelerate damage. Also, when the weather is too hot, the rubber softens and becomes more prone to cracking, especially after long rides in summer. Prevention methods are simple: check the tire pressure before every ride and inflate if it's below the standard; replace the tire immediately if there are cracks; you can use a self-sealing liquid as a temporary fix, but it's best to go to a professional shop for a thorough repair. Avoid overloading during rides, slow down over potholes, and this will extend the tire's lifespan and reduce unexpected incidents.
