what is advantage of tubeless tyres over radial tyres?

Question

why most of all new cars are provided with tubeless tyres

Answer 1

Passenger cars today all have tubeless radial tires (or tyres if your English).



Why?



Because they are more reliable and cheaper/easier to service. They just work better, like electric starters instead of hand cranks.

Answer 3

As far as I know all tyres are now radial tyres. Radial tyres can be tubeless or have an innertube, but tyre technology has advanced to a point that you don't need an innertube any more.

Answer 4

All mo den cars now run on tubeless Tyre's ,the rims are now better for sealing the Tyre's and don't need tubes ,all radial Tyre's are tubeless .

Answer 5

My goodness. I have not heard that term "tubeless" in years. With the exception of a few suppliers of tires for antique car afficiandos no one sells tubed tires these days, unless you want to count those high-technology "run-flat" tires on a few high performance cars. Moreover, the terms tubeless and radial refer to two different aspects of tire design that have nothing to do with one another except that both the common introduction of radial tire designs happened to coincide with the introduction of tubeless designs.



Prior to the introduction of radial-ply tires, there were what were called bias-ply tires. The ply refers to the belts that support the outer tread on the tire. On bias-ply, these belts were affixed during construction of the tire at a 90 degree angle to the tread face, crossways if you will. It was later discovered that the tire could be made to provide better handling and longer service life if the ply, or belts were constructed criss-crossing one another at a more acute angle, usually 45 degrees, and this was referred to as a radial-ply design, which came to dominate the market almost entirely.



About the same time, manufacturers began to produce wheels that had no internal seams that would leak air--that is they were capable of being made air-tight. Accordingly, when the lip of the tire was properly seated on these wheels on both sides, and it was pumped up to make a seal around the edges, there was no longer a need to have an internal air bladder, or innertube as they called it, to contain the air inside the tire. This also had some advantages in terms of heat diffusion, as by eliminating the layer of innertube pressed against the inside of the tire wall it somewhat improved the tire's ability to dissipate heat away from the tread which is generated by the rolling friction of the tire on the road.



Accordingly, about the same time that radial tires came on the market, most of those tires were offered as tubeless tires as well. These days, with the exception of the antique restoration market, it is quite rare to find either a bias-ply tire or a tube-type tire on any modern vehicle.

Answer 6

it all depends on the size u choose. never buy an alloy wheel or new tyres which is not the same as standard fitment. if you go for broader wheels & tyres, in Alto, when u steer fully to right or left, it will touch the inner walls of ur car. this will slowly tear ur tyres. if u put smaller size, your mileage & kilometers covered will be showing wrong reading as these tyres rotate more than the standard size. In Lx u dont have power steering. And adding alloys will not put more effot on steering for Alto. u will have the same feel on steering. As alloy wheels of Alto are heavier than the ordinary wheel rims, it will drop mileage, but it will be hardly 400 to 700 metres per litre. U can put tubeless tyres, but when u consider the Indian road contitions, it is safer to carry a spare tube in the boot. In case of puncture & loss of air, u can fit this tube inside the tubeless tyre & drive home safely. Hence my advice, go for alloys with tubeless tyres of the standard specificatio, carry a tube in boot & enjoy a new sporty driving!!!

Tubeless Car Tires

Answer 8

before they stopped making BIAS ply tires back in the late 70's, you could buy either the Bias ply tire or the radial ply tire which gives you a smoother ride than the BIAS ply tire and also the new wheel designs that are out now are better than the earlier wheels that had to have an inter-tube to seal the tire to the rims.so today's higher technology in the tire and wheel industry has out past the earlier designs.or if you still want to buy the old bias ply tires you can go to www.cokertire.com,they sell all types of old tires for restoring those vintage cars and trucks..

Answer 9

None about the only regular tubeless tires made now days are the cheap, el cheapo's .? If you are going to be driving any more than the just running to the store at 35 miles a hour once a week you don't want them on your car.

Answer 10

the funny thing is that radial tires are tubless, at least the hundreds that i have seen and rep[laced were.
