TYPES OF TYRES

Cross ply or bias ply areTyres where the fabric cords run from one bead to another at an angle with respect to the center line of the tyre are called cross ply or bias ply tyres
Radial tyres are the mostly used, they don't have belts that cross over each other like cross ply tyres do. Here, parallel plies radiate from one bead to another. They are softer and offer a more comfortable ride. As the ride is soft the sidewalls are weak and there is no directional stability, and so stiff belts of steel or fabric run around the circumference of the tyre between the plies and the tread.
Tube;Tube tyres have an inner tube in between the rim and the tyre. It's this tube which has the air filled in it. When the tyre is punctured, it's the tube which loses air immediately and the tyre goes flat. This tube is doughnut-shaped and made of rubber. It has a valve which protrudes through a hole in the rim. To repair a punctured tube, it has be taken off from the tyre and rim completely. If a nail punctures the tyre tread, then the tube could have multiple punctures as the tube gets deflated and rotates within the tyre
Tubeless;
Tubeless tyres work by sealing the spoke well of the rim, either with a specially designed rim and spokes, or with a butyl/plastic strip. The valve is either a separate item sealed with an 'O' ring or part of the rim strip. The tyre is also air tight, this can be done either by adding rubber to the tyre material, or more commonly by coating the inside of the casing with Butyl rubber.
Tubeless tyres deflate slowly rather than suffering from a blow out, which for some drivers improves the safety and reliability of the tyres
