Show answer

Correct answer

  • AAumenta la seguridad en caso de pinchazoThey increase safety in case of a puncture
Explanation

A tubeless tyre loses air slowly when punctured, because the rubber itself tends to close the hole. This way the driver keeps control and can stop safely, whereas a tyre with an inner tube can burst and go flat suddenly.
