Difference between tubeless tyres and tubed tyres?
Tube tyres are the ones that are the conventional tyres and have been used ever since the inception of tyres themselves, so they have a tube within the tyre. On the other hand the tubeless tyres are pneumatic ones (based on air) and do not have an inner tube.
Advantage of tubeless tyres is that the absence of inner tube means lower unsprung weight (weight that lies below the suspensions) and hence lower rolling resistance, lesser drag, improved fuel economy etc. Most importantly with tubless tyres even if your tyre puctures you don't have to stop by to fix the puncture immediately, you can just drive with it and stop to get it fixed the moment you find someone to. In tube tyres the moment your tyre punctures you have to stop by and get it fixed, you can't afforf to drive with it, cuz your tube can burst instantly and with that you will have to change the entire tyre which invovles the cost of buying a new tyre for a few thousands.
The disadvantage is that tubeless tyres can wear out easily.
However most cars now come fitted with tubeless tyres, this technology has come from west obviously and spreading like fire in india...
I would recommend tubeless tyres as they do not come along with the fear of tube damage even if you to drive them a few kms to get em your car to the mechanic..
All the best
