Show answer

Correct answer

  • BEl neumático sin cámara (tubeless).A tubeless tyre.
Explanation

A tubeless tyre increases safety in the event of a puncture because the air escapes slowly and the tyre does not deflate suddenly, which gives you time to stop the vehicle under control. A tyre with an inner tube can lose its air suddenly.
