6.2.6 Tubeless tire features
The tubeless tire does not have a tube and rim tape and performs the functions of a tire and a tube at the same time. According to the arrangement, it is very close to a tube tire and in appearance it hardly differs from it. A feature of a tubeless tire is the availability of a sealing airtight rubber layer with a thickness of 1.5-3.5 mm on its inner surface.
Note
The material of the carcass of a tubeless tire is also characterized by high air resistance (since it uses viscose, kapron or nylon cord), which is 5-6 times higher than that of cotton cord.
Note
The tubeless tire has a reduced rim diameter and is mounted on a sealed rim.
