What are the disadvantages of tubeless Tyres?
However, there are also disadvantages to tubeless tyres: Initial fitting can be more time-consuming, especially with tyres that are not ‘tubeless-ready’ from the outset. In the event of major defects, the sealant can leak out, which can contaminate the tyre, the bike and the rider. While not even the best UTQG-rating tires can be completely trusted, the tire tread wear ratings guide is actually quite straightforward. To estimate a tread life based on treadwear ratings, you will need to multiply the number by 1000. Therefore, based on simple math, a 400-rated tire should last for 40,000 miles.On average, most tyres last between 40,000 to 80,000 kilometres. However, this estimate can change based on the factors mentioned earlier. High-performance tyres may have a shorter lifespan, while touring or all-season tyres tend to last longer.Look for signs of uneven tread wear or steering pull.

Factors such as driving habits and environmental conditions can also affect longevity, so it is important to regularly check for wear and tear.
