What type of rims are generally used with tubeless tires?
1 Answers
Tubeless tires are generally paired with one-piece deep-well rims. Here is extended information on the differences between tubed and tubeless tires: 1. Susceptibility to blowouts: Tubed tires generate significant heat due to friction between the inner tube and outer tire during driving, with inadequate heat dissipation, making them prone to blowouts. Tubeless tires eliminate this friction as they don't have an inner tube, and they can dissipate heat directly through the rim, offering superior heat dissipation that significantly reduces the likelihood of blowouts. 2. Air leakage rate: When punctured, tubed tires lose air rapidly, whereas tubeless tires feature a special butyl rubber compound airtight layer that results in slow air leakage after puncture.
