Team-BHP - View Single Post - Tube tyres converted into tubeless

In the last two weeks, i have come across two tyre dealers who say they can convert the regular stock tube-tyres of my Xeta into tubeless ones.

This is the procedure according to them:

1.Remove Tube
2. Check tyre for any existing punctures and then repair them.
3. Fit the valve to fill air.
4. Check for leakages by filling tyres with water.

The cost is around 500/- depending on how many punctures need to be carried out. So experts, what;s your take on this? Is it a safe practise? Have had four punctures in the last seven days so i am tempted by this option as long as it is safe.
