Question 2597
You should know that the pneumatic part of a wheel consists of the tire casing, the inner tube (if fitted), and the air. What type of tire increases safety in the event of a puncture?
- It makes no difference.
- A tubeless tire.
- A tire with an inner tube.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A tubeless tire.
When punctured, a tubeless tire usually loses air more slowly because the embedded object may plug the hole. This reduces the risk of a sudden loss of control.
