What is the difference between a vacuum tire and a normal tire?

Mondo Cars Updated on 2024-01-28

The difference between vacuum tire and ordinary tire is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1.Construction: Tubeless tubes do not have an inner tube, while regular tires contain an inner tube. Tubeless has a thicker wall, so it's more wear-resistant and lasts longer.

2.Valve position: The valve of the vacuum tire is directly connected to the hub, while the valve of the normal tire is connected to the inner tube. This makes tubeless more convenient to inflate and vent.

3.Grip and shock absorption: Since tubeless tubes do not have inner tubes, their sidewalls are stronger and provide better grip and shock absorption. During the acceleration phase, the tubeless behaves more smoothly.

4.Abrasion resistance: Compared with ordinary tires, vacuum tires have better wear resistance and longer life. Tubeless rims have a larger rim diameter and are not affected by the heat of the brake drum and are therefore more durable.

5.Safety: Since tubeless tubeless does not have an inner tube, it will leak more slowly in the event of a puncture, giving the driver more time to respond. Whereas, regular tires tend to leak quickly after a puncture.

In summary, tubeless tires are lighter, have stronger grip, better shock absorption, better wear resistance and higher safety than ordinary tires. However, tubeless** are usually higher and are a bit more cumbersome in terms of inflation and repair. Therefore, when choosing tires, you need to make a reasonable choice based on your actual needs and budget.
