Tubeless Ready

 

How different are they to normal tires?

 

Racing competitors have already converted from normal tires to Tubeless Ready for some time and Schwalbe Tubeless Ready tires made the conversion a lot easier, as the special tire bead seals immediately onto the rim and guarantees safe seating. The sealing at the rim of regular tires is a big problem and often only works with the use of a compressor and a lot of patience. Sometimes it takes several days to finally seal with the added risk of the tire jumping off the rim since the bead wires are not made for Tubeless use.
