Do Tubeless Tires Need to Be Inflated?

Tubeless tires need to be inflated. Here is an introduction to tubeless tires: 1. Tubeless tires have high elasticity and wear resistance, along with excellent traction and heat dissipation performance. Particularly, all-steel radial tubeless tires are economical and durable. Tubeless tires are widely used in bicycles, motorcycles, cars, buses, and trucks. 2. Tubeless tires are made of high-quality rubber, offering good elasticity, strong flexibility, and a wide adaptability to air pressure. Except when punctured, tubeless tires generally do not deflate on their own. Therefore, it is necessary to use a pressure gauge to check and maintain the specified pressure when inflating.

Vacuum tires certainly need inflation. Although they are designed to be airtight, air can slowly seep out, leading to a drop in pressure. With over a decade of driving experience, I've seen many people mistakenly believe that vacuum tires require no maintenance, only to harm themselves in the end. Insufficient tire pressure can cause deformation, reduce handling performance, and increase the risk of skidding or blowouts when driving at high speeds. I recommend checking the tire pressure at least once a month using a handheld pressure gauge. Inflation tools are now quite affordable—keeping a small air pump at home makes the task quick and easy. Maintaining proper tire pressure also extends tire life, saves fuel, and enhances safety. In the past, I neglected to check, resulting in premature tire wear and unnecessary expenses for replacements. Developing a habit of regular inflation can save a lot on repair costs and make daily driving smoother and more comfortable.

Vacuum tires still require regular inflation, especially for those of us who frequently drive to pick up and drop off kids—safety comes first. Air pressure gradually decreases, and if not replenished, tire grip diminishes, potentially leading to loss of control during emergency braking, which is extremely dangerous. I make it a habit to check the pressure at the beginning of each month. I keep a portable air pump at home, which is simple and quick to use. Low pressure also increases fuel consumption—I’ve calculated it could cost hundreds more in gas per year. Maintaining the standard pressure avoids these issues. A common misconception is that vacuum tires are completely airtight, but air molecules can permeate, causing slow leaks. That’s why I also conduct a full tire inspection every quarter, including tread and balance checks, to ensure everything is in order. This small routine brings big benefits—saving money and peace of mind.

I haven't been driving vacuum tires for long, but I've learned a lesson: they must be inflated! Low pressure has caused me trouble before, with a tire bursting on the highway, ruining a date and costing a fortune in repairs. In daily use, air naturally leaks out, and without proper inflation, tires wear out quickly, making the car unstable and wobbly. Now, I set reminders on my phone and use a pressure gauge to check and add air every three weeks. Simple and effective.
