Advantages of alloy wheel :
i)These are lighter in weight which reduces unsprung weight of vehicle.
ii)These are better conductor of heat which helps in heat dissipation during braking action, provid better brake drum cooling.
iii)It improves stability on cornering.
iv)There have high impact, fatigue strength their by better shock absorption capacity.

Advantages of Tubeless tires:
i) The tubeless tyre is easier to fit.
ii) When punctured it deflects slowly in contrast to tube tyre where air leaks out fast. This is because of soft lining has self sealing effects
iii) A temporary puncture repair can be seen made without removing the wheel by stopping the hole with a special rubber plug.
