Which Side of the Tire Faces Inward and Which Side Faces Outward?
1 Answers
If there are no markings such as "INSIDE" or "OUTSIDE" on the tire sidewall, it generally indicates a symmetrical tread pattern, meaning there is no distinction between the inner and outer sides. If there is a distinction, the side marked "OUTSIDE" should face outward. Such tires are usually designed for specific directional water drainage and feature an asymmetrical tread pattern. Puncture Resistance: Tubeless tires have a surface layer of high-quality rubber. After inflation, the external tension increases, creating a certain pressure on the inner surface, which enhances the self-sealing capability against punctures. If punctured, the tire will not deflate instantly but will maintain pressure for a certain period, ensuring safety during high-speed driving. Superior Wear Resistance: The rim diameter of a tubeless tire is larger than that of a conventional rim, preventing it from being affected by the heat generated by the brake drum during driving. Since there is no inner tube or liner, the tire and wheel 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 steel rim, rapidly reducing the tire temperature and thereby extending the tire's service life.
