Car tires play an important role in the movement of the car, taking on the main shocks and bumps associated with uneven road surfaces. Do not mistakenly think that the tire is just a piece of inflated rubber that is installed in the tire. In fact, this is a very complicated design, developed in accordance with certain requirements, which are good resistance to mechanical damage, temperature changes and changes in internal pressure.
One of the last major discoveries in this area are tubeless tires, the main advantage of which is the presence of a special sealing layer vulcanized to its inside. Moreover, a special sealing layer is installed on the sides of such a tire, which provides reliable sealing in the area of the sides and on the shelves of the rim of the wheel itself. The special design of the tire is made in such a way that the angle of inclination of the bead toe is slightly increased, due to which additional tension of the landing flange of the rim is created.
Tubeless tires are equipped with plug-in metal valves, which are specially rubberized and installed in the holes of the rim very tightly. Thanks to high-quality rubber, which is a mixture of natural and synthetic rubber, tires of this design last much longer than usual, and their degree of wear is much lower. They have a large carrying capacity and throughput, with a low noise level when the wheel grip with the road surface.
However, it also has its own characteristics, which are specific requirements for the replacement and repair of such wheels. Tubeless tires must be repaired using special equipment, since even the slightest damage can lead to depressurization. It is precisely because of the weakness of the side flanges that the wheel cannot be moved in the event of a lowering wheel, since in this case the sealed layer may be damaged.
In this regard, tubeless tires cause some car owners to worry, as a result of which they prefer not to use them. However, you need to understand that ideal tires simply do not exist, since they are subjected to too intense loads during operation. The disadvantages of traditional tires are their rapid wear, as well as frequent pumping of air into the tires, since during the entire period of operation there is a slight internal decrease in pressure. If you objectively compare chamber and tubeless tires, you can immediately see a significant advantage of the latter:
- increased cross-country ability and reliability, as well as the absence of the likelihood of instant depressurization during puncture, which is very important for road safety at high speeds;
- less weight due to slight inertia during braking and acceleration;
- the ability to eliminate small tire punctures right on the spot with the help of a special paste, and without removing the wheel from the car;
- increased car mileage on tubeless tires by 10-12% due to better temperature conditions, as well as enhanced heat transfer.
In addition to the foregoing, the absence of friction between the tire and the camera also additionally contributes to the high reliability of this type of tire, and hence the popularity of this new product. It should also be borne in mind that developers and leading engineers are constantly working on improving tires and tires, which leads to the appearance of completely new and high-quality models.
In conclusion, it should be emphasized once again that a tubeless tire is the right choice for those who rationally use all available resources, and also value their own safety and time. For this reason, more and more car owners are choosing to use tubeless tires.
