Correct answer
A tubeless tyre.
A tubeless tyre. Its inner liner and airtight seal with the rim contain the air, and the embedded object can limit leakage through the hole. This does not guarantee pressure retention or slow deflation in every case: substantial damage can cause rapid deflation. Regrooving renews the tread grooves, while retreading replaces the tread; neither is an alternative to having or not having an inner tube. If pressure is lost, stop safely and have the tyre checked.
