TUBE VS TUBELESS
TUBE TYRES
a) The Tube is designed to retain air in the tyre. The Inner liner is not designed for this function.
b) The Inner liner is designed to protect the casing plies from the tube abrasion.
c) The TT wheel rims in most cases do not have a hump design because the inflated tube ensures bead seating.
TUBELESS TYRES
a) Air retention is the sole purpose of the Inner liner.
b) The bead is designed to air-lock the tyre-rim assembly and grasp the tyre on to the rim.
c) When a tyre is externally penetrated by an object , the inner liner grips the object to prevent the loss of pressure
NOTICE: Never interchange a tubeless tyre with a tube tyre, and vice-versa because components of each type of tyre, is designed to function differently from each other.
