Why Don't Large Trucks Use Tubeless Tires?

[DeIsabela]

Tubeless tires have poor load-bearing capacity. Large trucks, with their cargo and own weight, often exceed 20 tons, which tubeless tires cannot withstand. In contrast, steel-belted tires can handle varying loads without issues and have a longer lifespan. Steel-belted tires feature a fine steel wire mesh within the tire's rubber fabric layers, along with an inner rubber tube, enhancing the tire's load-bearing capability. Below are some tips for driving near large trucks: 1. Avoid Truck Blind Spots: Trucks have large blind spots, especially on the right side. Often, trucks drive in the middle of the road, and with slow vehicles blocking the fast lane, overtaking from the truck's right side becomes common, significantly increasing the risk of accidents. 2. Hazards of Truck Turns: When a truck turns, there's a specific term called 'inner wheel difference,' referring to the differential between the front and rear wheels on the turning side. If a car stays in this area, the truck driver may not see it at all. It's crucial to move away quickly.
