What is a Tubeless Tire?
1 Answers
Tubeless tires, also known as 'low-pressure tires' or 'pneumatic tires,' are inflatable tires without an inner tube. Tubeless tires offer high elasticity and wear resistance, along with excellent adhesion and heat dissipation performance. Below is an introduction to tubeless tires: 1. Safety: The surface of a tubeless tire is made of high-quality rubber. After inflation, the surface tension increases, creating a certain pressure on the inner surface, which enhances its self-sealing ability against punctures. If punctured, unlike conventional tires that lose all air instantly, tubeless tires maintain air pressure for a certain period, ensuring safety during high-speed driving. 2. Low Fuel Consumption: Tubeless tires in metric sizes such as 315/80R22.5, 295/80R22.5, and 275/70R22.5 are flat tires with a zero crown angle, providing strong adhesion. They maintain good driving stability and low friction, contributing to shock absorption and higher speeds. The high positioning accuracy of the belt layers reduces radial wheel runout and resistance, thereby saving 3% on fuel consumption.
