Hey, Funnyone - a guy I work with is a big Powerpuff fan, and he's in his mid thirties. Don't make assumptions.

Tyres can be with or without inner tubes. Tubeless tyres work by the tyre creating a seal against the rim when they are pumped up. You can tell by looking at the valve stem where you put the air in. If it is fat at the bottom just before it goes into the rim, it is tubeless; if it is the same length all the way then it is a tube. It doesn't really matter though. Both are fine. ALl new cars are tubeless unless they have a leak and then if the tyre is still okay then they put a tube in

Car Tubes

no modern cars tend not to have inner tubes, as they are dangerous, all modern cars have tubeless Tyre's now.
the reason why they are dangerous is, if U get a nail of some other puncture in a tubeless tire, the Tyre will tend to deflate slowly, in a Tyre with and inner tube the Tyre will deflate very very quickly, which is not good if Ur traveling at speed when it happens, plus the bang that is causes can make U jump, moving the starting wheel, not good if U've only got 3 Tyre's

Modern car tyres are designed to be tubeless. However, a tube can be fitted to a standard tyre, that is one without a profile rating e.g. a tube could be fitted to a tyre sized as 145R13 however it couldn't be fitted to one sized as 145/75R13 as the /75 is a profile rating.
Found this from a garage years ago. I had a tyre that kept losing pressure, no puncture, wheel OK and no defects on tyre or valve. Asked if I could tube it (as my bike) and they gave me the answer above.

No. Almost all car tires are tubeless. Inner tubes are sometimes used in tires which may have a puncture that could not be patched. However this should only be a temporary measure only.

a very long time ago in a galaxy far far away. I don/t know when the transition to tubeless was made. Only now you can''t get used inner tubes to go out on a lake or river .

It used to be a common thing years ago before a good quality "Steel belt radial" tyre was invented. But these days most vehicle would not use them. You COULD use them if you wanted to and some people still do today through preference. You can usually repair a puntured tube yourself.

There are 2 types - the tube type and tubeless type.
They type would be imprinted on the side wall of the tyre. In addition it will have other information e.g size, rating, etc.

Car tires have not had inner tubes for many decades. If your last car did, it was probably a 30's or 40's model.
