Tubeless Conundrum | 17 Jan 2024

• Tubeless tyres are tyres that do not have an inner tube and hold the air inside the tyre itself. A tubeless tyre resembles a tubed tyre.
• Tubeless tyres have advantages over conventional tubed tyres, such as cooler running, reduced downtime, and safer handling.
• These are not popular in India because of two main reasons: rusting of rims and the need for special tools for repairs.
  • Rusting of rims causes air leaks and reduces the sealing of tubeless tyres. Special tools and presses are required to fit and remove tubeless tyres, which are not available in roadside shops
