Re: HELP!!! changing Glamour Tube tyres to tubeless

Your shop keeper was right. It is not safe to put tubeless tyre in normal wheel though in some way it is possible.

Regarding the tyre size, the one you mentioned 80/100-18 would fit your bike. may be its around 3 mm high but that wont be an issue.

If you desperately want tubeless tyre, then change the wheel to tubeless one and then fit the TL trye.

Changing your bike is not necessary unless you are not happy with the bike performance for your kind of travel. I would say change your wheel and tyre to tubeless one..

HELP!!! changing Glamour Tube tyres to tubeless

hello, I bought a hero glamour, 6 months back and and since then I have suffered severe pain and problems with tyre punctures. Once got stuck 20kms away from home with no one to help at night at 2:00 am and had to ride the bike home in puncture condition which was dangerous and also had to replace the tube for rs 300.

Hence, I thought of replacing the tubed tyres with tubeless ones. So, today I went to a shop to replace the tyres. however, the owner told me that i can obviously change the tyres and put tubeless on them, but it is not recommended. Because, although the rims are alloy, they are not made for tubeless tyres as the rim does not come with prefixed nozzle. Although they can attach nozzle to the rim, but there are chances of air leakage and it will not be as good as a stock tubeless wheel. He also told me that it is risky and if I want to change the tyres, i would need to change the rim also to tubeless rims. the guy seemed legitimate and suggested me get more info before replacing the tyres.

so, can i change the tyres and go tubeless with out any problems to be faced in future? and is it safe?

Although it may sound silly, but is it better to sell this bike and get one with tubeless tyres pre installed with tubeless rims?


and if it is ok to replace the tyres on this bike, the stock tvs tyres that came with the glamour are

front - 2.75x18- 42p/4 pr *both tyre sizes are from maxabout.
rear - 3.00x18- 52 p/6 pr.

but the tyre size of the tubeless ones (michelin) are 80/100- 18 47 p.

are the sizes of the tyres same??


sorry for a long and confusing post if it is. and thank you for your replies.

I travel a lot, sometimes at night on unavoidable work purposes and go to dangerous roads/places, where normally there are no humans around 10-20 kms. And this "WHAT IF" puncture issue is seriously bothering me.

Re: Tyres

If you rate v1's front tyre as 10/10, then v2 tyre would be 8/10 in most aspects.

Depends on how old the tyre is, when bought. Rubber becomes hard and useless by the end of 4 years. If you buy a new tyre (~4 to 8 months old), you can store it for a year and use it later for a couple of years.

Re: Tyres

For how much time tyre can be stored safely?
Getting good deal so thinking to get tyre and use it after year.

Re: R15 V1 - Front Tyre

Thank you

Apart from being little nose heavy, will it have any impact on the bikes handling, performance, mileage, etc?

Re: R15 V1 - Front Tyre

Welcome to xBhp!
Your dealer was right. v1 tyre sizes are no longer available (fresh stock) and you shall have to make do with v2 tyres. I will make the front a little nose heavy though.
