Insufficient Context
We should think about how to add context, as I'd rather not remove that while only adding citations. Any Ideas please place below. AriTheHorse (talk) 11:50, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Incorrect Content
Unfortunately, this article contains some statements which are either dependent on the actual tire, or downright wrong. I can see the following two:


 * The sentence in the intro "The inflated inner tube provides structural support and suspension, while the outer tire provides grip and protects the more fragile tube" is wrong: It is the outer tire that is responsible to handle all the forces, the inner tube's only responsibility is to provide a seal for the air. Due to the presence of the inner tube, there is no need to seal the tire to the rim, or to seal the valve to the rim. The tube itself, at least in the bicycle use case, is utterly incapable to withstand the operating pressure alone. The only reason that it does not burst is the presence of the enclosing tire.


 * The sentence in the performance section "As the tubing is sown to the tire, if punctured, the tire can still be ridden flat" is specific to some niche product. The vast majority of tubed tires are used in bicycles, and these tires definitely do not have their tubing sown to the tire, and they definitely cannot be ridden flat.

Unfortunately, I'm no tire expert, so I don't feel like I should be the one rewriting this article. But I would encourage anybody with more comprehensive knowledge to correct and expand this article. 77.3.218.223 (talk) 00:23, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
