What does the word “TUBELESS” written on the side of the tyre indicate?

Correct answer

That it is a tyre designed to be fitted without an inner tube.

TUBELESS means that the tyre is designed to be fitted without a separate inner tube, on a compatible rim with an airtight assembly. Airtightness depends on the tyre, rim and valve. It does not mean punctures are impossible or guarantee that every puncture loses air slowly: the outcome depends on the damage. Nor does the word itself identify special suitability for standing water or every lorry; check the size, indices and compatibility specified for the vehicle.
