Please guys, I need your experience in choosing the best for my car tires as I'm about to buy new set of tires. Thanks

All tyres for passenger cars and light commercials are tubeless these days.

No one fits tubes anymore, they're actually illegal. Not sure where you'll buy tubes legally either.

good, but it's still obtainable in naija

what is the disadvantage?

Tubes shouldn't be fitted to tubeless tyres - the fact tubes are still available in Nigeria doesn't alter that fact.

You get a nail in a tubeless tyre fitted with a tube, the tyre will be flat within 20 minutes. A tubeless tyre wiith the same nail damage, can retain aiir for weeks, with the occassional pump-up.

A tubeless tyre fitted with a tube, is also likely to suffer catastrophic failure at high speed, i.e blow-outs, making them unsuitable for high-performance use, or sustained high speed runs.

Thanks for the info, siena, you're well informed.

I went to vulganizer last week to inflate one of my tyres and the he discovered that it has 7 nails. 7nails and it still retains air, but i assure you that tubed tire will go completely flat with a single nail.

He gave me an option to either fill the holes created by the nail and get a tube to go with it or dispose the tire and get a tubeless one. I chosed the second option. Driving a tubed tyre in Lagos road doesn't make any economic sence to me.

There you go - tubeless is the way to go.
