Know The Difference Between Tube-type and Tubeless

Tube-Type (TT) Tyres

The tube performs the function of retaining air and the inner liner protects the casing plies from tube abrasion. Inflated tube ensures bead seating, this is why TT wheel rims mostly do not have a hump design.

Tubeless (TL) Tyres

The function of the inner liner is to retain air. The bead is built to air-lock tyre rim assembly, as well as to hold the tyre on to the rim. In the event of external penetration, the inner liner clings on to the external object. This prevents loss of pressure.

Do not fit a tube-type tyre as a tubeless tyre. Both are designed for different functions.
