TubeLess Tire : Runs even after punctures

TubeLess Tires

The tires which don't have a tube in it are called TubeLess tires. The definition is very easy but the technology behind making these wheels has replaced the conventional tube tires. Nowadays almost all the vehicles are equipped with these tires as an standard equipment.

What's the Difference:

The major difference between tube and tubeless tires as I discussed is the Tube which is not present in the tube-less ones as obvious. Another difference is that the tire and the rim makes a non-leaking air compartment and the valve is fitted directly to rim unlike in tube tires where the valve is fitted onto the tube.

Below is the comparison between the tube and tubeless tires.
Comparison among the tires 



































Advantages:



  • More resistant to puncture as the construction is robust.
  • Sustain the air for longer duration.
  • Doesn't cause instability when the air pressure is low.
  • Increase efficiency as friction between tire and tube is eliminated.
  • Easy to remove punctures as there is no need to take out the whole tube to fix it.

How the puncture is fixed:


The tools used for fixing the puncture are reduced in numbers and size as there is no need to take out the whole to fix the puncture. Nowadays fixing a puncture is not a tedious job and even you can fix the puncture with the help of a fixing kit.
   Shown below is a puncture fixing kit for tubeless tires which is all you need.




























   





First the tire is checked for any nail or other sharp object then the tire is drilled down at that point with a tool shown below. Then a fixing strip is coated with the adhesive solution and then with the help of the tool, the strip is pierced deep within. That's It!!! 
    Take out the tool out leaving behind the strip inside the tire and you are ready to go...
