With the latest innovations and development of techniques, the use of tubeless tyres has become much more prominent when compared to that of tube-type ones. Compared to tubeless tyres, tube-types are cheaper to buy and repair for your motorcycle, thus making them a more viable option for cost-conscious buyers.

However, apart from the cost factor, there are many other parameters on which the tubeless tyres appear to be the more advantageous option of the two. Following are the points which make tubeless tyres more value-for-money and practical ones to live with for your bike over a long period:

• More resistant to punctures – The tube-type tyres tend to deflate immediately when they meet with a puncture hole. However, in tubeless tyres, the air slowly dissipates only from the spot around the sharp object that is responsible for the puncture.
• Longer retention of air – Compared to tube-type tyres, the tubeless tyres are capable of maintaining the air pressure for a longer period. This aspect also helps in handling punctures due to a very slow rate of dissipation of air from the puncture spot, as compared to tube-type tyres.
• More durability and fuel efficiency – Due to the absence of any tube inside them, tubeless tyres tend to be more durable and lighter for your motorcycle. The light-weighted nature of tubeless tyres also helps them in reducing the rolling resistance. This enhances the overall fuel efficiency of the vehicle, though not by a large margin.
• Better heat dissipation – As the air inside a tubeless tyre is in direct contact with the rim, it helps in better heat dissipation from the tyre when the vehicle is in motion. With tube-type tyres, the additional friction produced between the tube and the tyre causes the generation of more heat.
• Safer at higher speeds – Given that the tubeless tyres do not deflate immediately as it happens in tube-type ones, tubeless tyres are a safer option to go for in comparison. If your vehicle meets with a puncture while being ridden at a higher speed, the tubeless tyres prevent sudden loss of control and lower the possibility of tyre bursts.
• Ability to run for long at lower pressure – Due to better air retention in case of a puncture, tubeless tyres can be ridden for a long time even after they get punctured. It helps in cases where you had a puncture in a region where there are not many puncture repair shops available nearby.
• Compatible with Nitrogen – The modern design of tubeless tyres for your motorcycle make them more compatible with better performing nitrogen gas when compared to tube-type tyres.
