Tubeless tires are installed on the car. If you have not enough skills of installation of tires, advise not to try to perform this work independently. One damage of a sidewall — also should be bought the new tire or to insert the camera.
In a desperate situation it is possible to use the special first-aid kit for repair of tubeless tires without razbortovka or sealant for tires. It is necessary to apply them according to the enclosed instruction.
Than the tubeless tire is better chamber? First, tubeless at a puncture lowers very slowly: it is possible, pumping up, for weeks to go with a nail in a wheel, there will be yet no opportunity to repair it. Secondly, when at very considerable run from the tubeless tire metal cord delays will begin to act, it still can be used as a spare wheel. To insert the camera into such tire it is useless: she will make a mistake already at the first inflating.
