When modern technology is coupled with continuous development, we see good innovations through new motorcycle models that respond and support the wheels and tires. One interesting thing is ‘Tubeless tires’ or what Thai people often call ‘Yang-Joob-less’ for motorcycles, especially tiny motorcycles. Many people may be wondering what a tubeless tire is. So that everyone can get to know this type of tire better, come on now… follow us to read interesting content for Motorcycle lovers, please read this before using it! How good are ‘Tubeless tires’? and how is it different from other types of tires!
Of course, the tires that most people know are ‘Tire with inner tubes’ which use inner tubes to store air, supporting heavy loads well, such as ten-wheel trucks, tractors, etc. They are also cheap, easy to purchase, flexible, easy to inflate, patch, and change tires, and are good for use in remote areas. At the same time, if the inner tire is pierced by a sharp object through the outer tire, the inner tire will quickly leak air. Makes it necessary to always add air to the tires to make them hard. To prevent the outer tires from rubbing against the tires when the motorcycle is running.
Many people may be wondering, right? Tubeless tires how can I keep the air out? The answer is simple, let’s try to picture the outside tire wall. The rubber has a more dense structure than motorcycle tires with inner tubes, the innermost rubber layer does not have rubber but is a canvas structure instead. That is to store air in the tire instead of the inner tube, the structure of the inner rubber wall is strong, durable, and does not cause leaks when stabbed by sharp objects. In addition, the rim of the tire is specially sealed against the rim of the rim to hold more air than a normal tire, making it difficult to twist in time because it was made to fit with alloy wheels. Therefore it is a rubber that has less heat because there is no friction between the outer tire and the inner tube, this keeps the tire air inflated and has a longer lifespan with no need to add air often.
When a leak occurs, the rubber will try to squeeze out the leak to slow down the air leak, or if the hole is not very large from a sharp object stuck to the front of the tire. Motorcycles can continue to run for a while and it is often found that several days will pass before a tire goes flat. It’s also safer if you have a wound from a large sharp object because the tire pressure will gradually decrease if it leaks, your motorcycle will not lose control. Also, there is rarely a problem of a tire burst causing the motorcycle to lose balance immediately. However, tubeless tires are quite expensive according to their performance. When patching a tire, you must replace the new tire only by removing the tire from the wheel which cannot be repaired with a worm patch. Changing tires requires the use of a tire changer specifically for replacing and patching the inside, also known as ‘streaming’ or using heat to clean the tire, leaving no residue inside that could cause long-term damage. This is because it will allow dirt to infiltrate under the canvas layer, corrosion occurs, and the tire may deform or swell, making it necessary to replace the tire with a new one, which is expensive.
