Can Tubeless Tires Blow Out?

[Sally]

Tubeless tires can be repaired after a blowout, and timely repairs should be conducted. As long as the damage is not particularly severe, tubeless tires can generally be repaired. They can be patched not only for air leaks but also for cuts. Maintain the specified air pressure: Tubeless tires are made of high-quality rubber, offering good elasticity and flexibility, with a wide range of adaptability to air pressure. Even at high pressure, they do not feel as hard as conventional tires. Therefore, checking the pressure with a gauge is essential. Unlike conventional tires, tubeless tires typically do not lose air on their own unless punctured. Thus, always use a pressure gauge to check and maintain the specified pressure during inflation, rather than relying on manual assessment as with ordinary tires. Avoid overloading while driving: Tubeless tires are not pressure-resistant and are unsuitable for overloading. While they are wear-resistant, they cannot handle excessive loads, especially given the common issue of overloading in many trucks in China. If overloaded excessively, tubeless tires are not the best choice. Some heavy-duty trucks opt to replace the steering wheels with tubeless tires while keeping the main load-bearing drive wheels as conventional steel-belted tires. This approach ensures load-bearing capacity, enhances driving comfort, and serves as a good compromise. Regularly check the air pressure: To ensure driving safety, it is generally recommended to check the air pressure once a month. Even the most airtight tires experience natural leakage over time. Additionally, external environmental factors can cause variations in air volume due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.
