How do tubeless bicycle tires work and what are the benefits of using them?

Tubeless bicycle tires work by creating an airtight seal between the tire and the rim, eliminating the need for an inner tube. This allows for lower tire pressure, which can improve traction, reduce the risk of flats, and provide a smoother ride. The benefits of using tubeless tires include better performance, increased durability, and a reduced risk of punctures.
