None?


Yes, tubed tires offer none of the claimed benefits of tubeless. You can make half an argument for pinch flat resistance, but that's marginal at best. And that stuff about latex "slow deflating" or "resisting punctures" is a bit eye-rolling to me. I rode exclusively latex for like 10 years. You get a hole in them, they go completely flat real quick, just like any tubed tire. I'd argue you get more gunshot like "tubular flats" than with butyl. Any slight pin prick and they're done. Anything more than a pin prick in the casing, and they bubble through and you're done. Any tire pressure below like 85 PSI (for me) and they pinch flat like crazy.

Per Spackler you'll never get me to go back.
