What is a tubeless tyre and how does it work?

A tubeless tire has no rubber innertube inside to hold the air. Tubeless tires hold air by forming a seal against the edge of the wheel. There is nothing inside an inflated tire but air, hence it is "tubeless".

A tubeless tire is used on a sealed rim were the tire seats up to the rim and a valve stem is mounted to the rim. There is no tube inside like on a spoked wheel or split rim.

most tires are tubeless as really only bicycles tires have tubes in them.
it works like a tire. its a big ring of rubber that is around a center rim, as you put air into it, it expands and grips/pushed against the edges of the rim and that seals the air in.

The tire seals to the rim and keeps air in. Almost all cars have tubless tires...i think only things like lawnmowers and bikes use tires with tubes
