Mountain Bicycle Bike
Are tubeless bicycle tires less prone to flats than regular tubes-tires for a Mountain bike?
No, they aren't......except that the sidewalls are thicker and thus help to prevent pinching when bottoming out the tire against the rim at lower pressures/sharp impacts.
The main advantage of tubeless is avoidance of pinch flats (with tubes) and slightly less weight (usually). If you're like most people and you run a liquid sealant in your tubeless setup, then the weight savings is effectively nil. This depends on all of the components of the wheel, but it usually balances out equal-ish.
Around here, tubeless isn't as popular as it is in many places. We don't have many rocks or lots of gravity-fed riding, but we do have an awful lot of burs and thorns. Tubeless doesn't have as much advantage here as it does in other terrains.
Hope this helps some....
