Unlike pneumatic tires which use a separate inner tube, tubeless tires have continuous ribs molded integrally into the bead of the tire so that they are forced by the pressure of the air inside the tire to seal with the flanges of the metal rim of the wheel.

Tubeless tyres are offered with almost all new vehicles. A tubeless tyre is very similar to a traditional tyre, only that it has no tube inside. Air in the tyre is retained between the rim and tyre itself, with the use of an airtight seal.

Advantages -

1. No silly punctures

   As it sounds, one of the major reasons that tube tyres get a puncture is because the tube gets pinched between the tyre and the rim.

2. Ability to run at lower pressure.

   Air does change its pressure inside the tube or the tyre, and it is common for tyres to run at lower pressures. Again, a tube will get pinched when the pressure is low, leading to a puncture. This is not the case with tubeless tyres

3. Liquid sealant.

   Tubeless tyres have the advantage to be filled with liquid sealants. If a sharp object does put a hole in a tubeless tyre, the liquid sealant immediately oozes out and dries up, sealing the hole. This enables you to travel longer, without having to stop to fix a puncture.

4. Air escapes slowly

   In case you do encounter a puncture and the air leaks, it will leak very slowly in a tubeless tyre, which gives you enough time to pull safely over on the side of the road. A tube will let out air immediately, which might be dangerous on a highway or at high speeds.

5. Light

   Tubeless tyres are lighter compared to tube type tyres, which in turn affects the mileage of the vehicle. Heavy components on the vehicle will demand more power from the engine, and this requires more fuel to burn.

6. No unwanted friction

   While driving at high speeds, a tube type tyre will have friction with the tyre, which increases the temperature of the tube and there are chances of the tube exploding. A tyre/ tube explosion at high speeds calls for disaster. Tubeless tyres do not have this risk.

7. Stability

   Since air is contained in the tubeless tyre itself, and not in the tube, driving at high speeds will be stable as the air in the tyre is also stable. With a tube, there are chances of uneven pressure, which will make the car wobble at high speeds. Also, since a tube type tyre has more components (tyre, tube, rim) compared to a tubeless tyre, performance and efficiency are better with a tubeless tyre.
