What are they | Tubeless tires: what they are, advantages and disadvantages
Tubeless tires are nothing more than tires made in rubber and steel, inside which it retains the air without needing an internal air chamber. This allows tubeless tires to fit perfectly wheel rim, thus reducing the risk of cracks and punctures. It must also be said that maintenance is much simpler compared to that of classic tyres, in fact it is not necessary to control the air pressure in the inner tube. But these aspects must still be taken into consideration: check the air pressure and adapt it to the road and the load, replace the tire when wear reaches the legal limit of 1.6 mm or if you want greater adhesion, inspect the sidewall of the tire for cuts, cracks or deformations, repair the hole with a special kit or replace the tire, replace the valve and keep the rim clean and finally only use rims suitable for tubeless.

The rim must have an inflation valve fitted, which allows the air inside to be admitted and controlled. It can also be supplied with one special rubber layer antiforature inside a kit to repair the hole from the outside or inside. It also includes wording indicating seasonality.

Not only regarding the purchase, but also in maintenance. It must also be said, however, that the use of tubeless tires on damaged asphalt or with suboptimal pressures can cause greater wear than wheels with an inner tube. Then there is also the risk of sudden failure if the tire is used too much and or if it reaches the wear limit, which represents a great danger while driving.
