Tire pressure
If you want to ride more comfortably on bumpy roads, tubeless tires are definitely worth considering. Tubeless tires can operate at very low tire pressures. Many tubeless tires support a minimum safe operating pressure of 60 PSI. In contrast, other tire systems pose significant safety risks at 60 PSI. Both the inner tube and outer tire system and the tubular tire system must use higher tire pressures, typically a minimum of 80 PSI. On bumpy roads, the inner tube and outer tire system and the tubular tire system will clearly transmit the vibrations from road imperfections to your arms, which is very uncomfortable. When the tire suddenly hits a larger obstacle, tubeless tires have a much higher chance of passing safely. This is partly because the tubeless tire system has no inner tube and partly because the lower tire pressure provides greater cushioning.
Pressure Loss
However, the tubeless tire system has a noticeable drawback: it is prone to air leakage and pressure loss, requiring frequent pumping. This can be quite troublesome for daily riding. SUMLON suggests that if you are not participating in competitive racing but are instead riding for daily enjoyment or training, you might prefer to choose the inner tube and outer tire system. Even if you are using tubeless tires, if you don’t have an important race today, we also recommend adding an inner tube to your tubeless tire to reduce a lot of additional hassle.
Tire width
Additionally, if your rims only support tires narrower than 28mm, do not choose the tubeless tire system. Tubeless tires narrower than 28mm must be used at higher tire pressures, which significantly increases the risk of punctures. The tubeless tire system is not a one-time purchase; you need to regularly add sealant to your tubeless tires. This will cost you a considerable amount of money. If you are not prepared for this, do not buy tubeless tires.
