| BHPian  |  Tube-Type Tyres Converted to Tubeless - Is it safe? i am runnning stock tyres in my indigo marina . they are bridgestone s322 tubetype tyres . but i got 14'' alloys last week and i the tyre dealer told me that i can convert the same tubetype tyres to tubeless by just adding valve to it . so i got it done for just 150/- rs for 4 tyres . all i wanted to know that is this conversion safe enough and wat shall be the correct tyre pressure now . thanks in advance  |

| BHP. Simply put : Stop your car. Park it safely. Go put some tubes back on. Else be prepared for a crash. GTO |

| BHPian  | I think for safety you better put the tubes back or switch to new set of tubeless tyres. As far as i know its not advisible to use the tube type as tubeless tyres. |

| BHPian | dude...chill.....its ok u know what many a times the new model tyres are actually tubeless but since u dont rum them on alloys they are fitted with a tube just for safety....... since uve gotten alloys put on maybe thats why ur running them without tubes... and yes tubeless tyres anyways need those valves that u have put on but to be safe just post the size and model of ur tyres and we will let u know how safe u are... allan |

| Distinguished - BHPian   | Excuse me for being a bit amused! We have people putting tubes in tubeless tyres and people taking tubes out of tubetype tyres! What is it in us that tells us to go against the written word?? Anyways BHP, true tubeless tyres are dangerous only when the sidewall gets reptured. Your "tubeless" tyre has the additional vulnerability of a valve that has been "added" onto the tyre. So.... Amitoj |

| Yes, You can see embossed prominently on the sidewall "Tubed Variety" in GoodYear tyres. @bhp, your tubeless tyres are tyres without tubes. It is only a matter of time before they turn into airless tyres....!  @Buffetfan, I am not flaming you, but what the expert had in his mind could have been "all tyres are made without tubes" literally.

No reason to panic..I repeat. I simply do not understand what is the problem so long as they hold air (and hold air they will..since manufacturing tolerance of the so called "tubed" variety is very similar to tube type tyres) nowadays | |
