Practice question

Why is it hazardous to install an inner tube inside a tire marked 'Tubeless' on a rim designed only for tubeless tires, unless specified by the manufacturer?

Friction between the tube and the tubeless tire lining can generate extreme heat, leading to sudden tube blowout
The tube will block the valve stem hole, preventing inflation
It increases the weight of the wheel, causing severe engine vibration
It causes the tire tread to wear out twice as fast

Answer: A — Friction between the tube and the tubeless tire lining can generate extreme heat, leading to sudden tube blowout
