BASIC TIRE INFORMATION
CAUTION
Be careful not t o damage the rim area when using tire
mountina tools.
TUBED-TIRE
This type uses an air-filled tube within the tire's casing.
Air pressure drops instantly when a nail or other sharp object
Denetrates the tire and tube.
TUBELESS TlRE
In place of a tube, tubeless tires have a inner liner bonded to
the inside of the tire. The liner has a special bead area which,
together with a wide-grooved bead seating rim, provides an
effective seal against pressure loss.
Since the thick liner is not separate from the tire, it does not
stretch when inflated and will not burst if punctured. Instead.
the liner closes around the puncturing object to prevent
substantial pressure loss.
