Airless tires do not need to be filled with air.

What is the news?

Tire is a very important part in vehicles. When a tire is punctured, it becomes difficult to travel as soon as the air comes out. Over time, with changes in technology, tubeless tires started coming, but the problem of puncture still did not get rid of. Now it is coming with airless tires with a new advanced technology. These come with security, better performance and less maintenance. Let us know how airless tires work.

This is how these tires are made

The most important thing about airless tires is that there is no need to fill them with air. There is no risk of tire puncture or explosion. In place of air, specially designed rubber spokes and belts are used, which work to give strength and shape to the tyre. Their interior structure is visible from outside, which makes the look attractive. These are better options for long drives and off-road.

How much do these tires cost?

The most affordable airless tires cost around Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000. Its price varies according to size, quality and brand. On the other hand, the price of tubeless tires commonly used in India ranges from Rs 1,500 to Rs 60,000. Airless tires currently cost many times more than tubeless tyres. These are completely maintenance-free. There is no need for frequent repairs.

Disadvantages of these tires

Airless tires are strong and absorb shocks on bad roads, but the passengers sitting in the vehicle feel the shocks. These tires have more contact with the road, due to which it takes more effort to move the vehicle forward. Due to this, the battery in electric vehicles can drain quickly, while the mileage in petrol-diesel vehicles can reduce. Due to continuous rubbing with the road, excessive vibration may be felt while driving.
