    the good is ALL cars come with tubeless tyres, if you get a nail in them, it sometimes only gives a small leak until you pull the nail out, which if it going down often, it usually makes you look for something in it. tubes are not used much anymore coz as soon as they get something in them, they go down straight away. Most repair joints put a rubber plug in a tubeless and keep tubeless now.

    they are designed to help disperse water and get traction better than other tyres (apparently) but they are designed to roll one way only like the F1 i think or the G-Grids. (traction and wear is crap if you have them the wrong way) crap when you want to rotate left side to right side but, they have to come off the rim and flipped over. With technology these days, I reckon its a waste.
