Correct answer
That it is a tyre designed to be fitted without an inner tube.
Tubeless means the tyre is designed to be fitted without an inner tube. Its inner lining and the seal involving beads, rim and valve retain the air. It does not specifically mean suitability for wet roads or exclusive lorry use. It can suffer punctures and pressure loss; lacking a tube does not make it damage-proof or remove the need for inspection.
