What is the difference between tubeless tires and tube-type tires?
1 Answers
Tubeless tires are marked with the word 'TUBELESS' on the tire surface, which indicates they are tubeless. If it's a tubeless tire, this marking will definitely be present; if not, it is a tube-type tire. Additionally, the valve of a tubeless tire has a rubber seal at the connection point with the rim, whereas tube-type tires usually have a metal valve directly connected to the rim. Below is additional information: 1. Tubeless tires: Tubeless tires are pneumatic tires without an inner tube, also known as 'low-pressure tires' or 'pneumatic tires.' They have high elasticity and wear resistance, along with good adhesion and heat dissipation properties. 2. Advantages: Puncture resistance and 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 the self-sealing ability of punctures. Once punctured, unlike ordinary tires where the air escapes instantly, tubeless tires maintain pressure for a certain period, ensuring safety during high-speed driving.
