tubeless tires if punctured, still can travel quite a distance before it get flay slowly, allowing you time to go to the tyre shop. -

my sincere advise is change tyres ASAP. IRC tyres caused me to skid twice already. just now got quotation from bike shop. cost of repair near 1k. so change better than pay more for repairs.

hmmm... never knew got so much to tyres....
so what kinda tyres should an Aprilia use?? -
My sp use dunlop tt900, tubeless too (printed on tyre's surface). But how come still got air hole to pump if it is really tubeless hor?
And some culprit take away both of the tyre's hole plugs... last time steal my helmet, then fairing, now tyre's plug oso want to take... what a shame..

Hi there,Originally posted by totalduh:Hey, anyone can explain the thing about tubed and tubeless tyres??
The important difference between tubed & tubeless tires lies in fact that tubeless tires has a inner rubber tube within the walls of the tire. Tubed tires don't.
When a tubeless tire gets an air leak(ie. due to a nail puncture) the inner air pressure will cause the puncture to seal itself up, allowing the rider to locate a workshop & hv it patched up or tire replaced. Tubed tires will continue to leak air & that's the downside of using a tubed tire.
Which is also why other than older models or types of bikes like a cruiser/chopper, most bikes now come with tubeless tires as stock.
Hope this helps. Cheers!
Just me, Magiskter. -

Only if too many holes then change tire...if one or two, still ok. If tube type, then must change the whole tubeOriginally posted by sakaratulz:true...but would u still ride a bike with mended tyres? better change whole thing...safer -
