Sudden Loss of Air in Motorcycle Rear Tire
1 Answers
Because the sidewall of tubeless tires is relatively weak, it cannot effectively support the tire in emergency situations. Driving with low tire pressure can easily cause damage, while driving with no air pressure can completely ruin the tubeless tire and may even lead to damage or deformation of the motorcycle rim. It is best to take advantage of the slow air leakage characteristic of tubeless tires to find a safe place to stop. If you have a spare tire, replace the damaged one; otherwise, call for roadside assistance. First, we need to understand what a tubeless tire is. Essentially, tubeless tires are an upgraded version of the older radial tires, offering numerous advantages compared to the radial tires used in older vehicle models. However, their biggest drawback is the weak sidewall and poor lateral load-bearing capacity, resulting in lower high-load performance. Therefore, some riders may experience situations where the tubeless tire seems to suddenly lose air, which could be due to poor quality or damage to the tire sidewall from use.
