tubeless tire

No inner chamber

A tubeless tire is a pneumatic tire that holds air without an inner tube, sealing directly against the wheel rim.

Most modern car and motorcycle tires are tubeless, offering advantages over tubed tires: they lose air more slowly when punctured and run cooler.

Bicycle tires increasingly use tubeless designs, especially for mountain biking where lower pressures improve traction.
