What is the difference between tubed and tubeless tires?
1 Answers
Tubed and tubeless tires differ in the following aspects: 1. Safety: Tubeless tires have a layer of rubber on the surface. After inflation, the surface tension increases, creating a certain pressure. Even if punctured, they do not deflate instantly and offer better flexibility. Tubed tires, on the other hand, have poorer safety as the inner tube is in a stretched state inside the tire and can easily form small holes when slightly punctured, leading to rapid pressure loss. 2. Durability: The rim diameter of tubeless tires is larger than that of regular tires. Without an inner tube or liner, the tire and rim are sealed as one unit. When the vehicle is driven at high speeds, the heat generated by friction between the tire and the road surface is dissipated directly through the rim, quickly reducing the tire temperature and thereby extending the tire's lifespan.
