Folks want to run tires at lower pressures, but this increases the risk of pinch flats for inner tubes when the rim bottoms out against the ground. Tubeless setups don't have this risk.
- sliken 5y agoYes, a bit, but you won't want to ever bottom out, with or without tubes. You can snake bite flat tubeless, you can also damage the rim. Generally you want enough air pressure to have enough air pressure to have a 10-15% deflection in the tire and never bottom out. Thankfully suspensions help with the pinch flat since they basically time average the impacts.
