(note: previous question was “Tyres with a valve vs without? which are the best? 
” - changed it because could have been worded better.)
i have 93 MK1. i don’t go track racing. i just drive on regular roads at normal speeds.
interested in the pros & cons of both.
also, best places to buy them.
These days tyres are tubeless which are inflatable! Tubed tyres are not used these days.
thank you
see this is the sort of thing i need to know. i’ll edit my post.
what i meant was there are tyres that have no valve on them.
and there are tyres like the ones on my car, which do have a valve on them.
would i better saying tyres with a valve and tyres which don’t have a valve?
What tyres dont have a valve on them?
i’ve seen them on a household name website.
and new ones, not used ones.
and someone else told me those types of tyres a garage attach using a special adhesive. they don’t inflate them with a valve. is that not right?
Ive seen prototypes shown but as far as I know that’s it
these are sold out on the site i was on about and that site didn’t have pics like this anyway.
this site is better to show what i mean : 255/70R15 Autogrip Grip 4000 108H Tyre - 4x4 Tyres
no valve. i know thats a 4x4 tyre. but how do you inflate that?
That is a normal tyre that would be inflated through the valve fitted in the hole in the wheel rim as usual
so it would have an inner tube with a valve?
No, tubeless with the valve in the wheel
thank you both.
that’s what i meant. the tyre itself doesn’t have the valve in it.
but i have seen car inner tubes still on sale.
No tyre has the valve in it. You would normally only need an inner tube on wire wheels or wheels that wern’t air tight
really, there seemed to be loads. i thought it was still a thing.
You can see the valve hole in the wheel
well that makes me feel slightly better.
this is still something that people are asking about and kwik-fit are explaining on their blog (16 days ago) 
As Bob said earlier, old wired wheels require an inner tube but modern wheels don’t. It’s not something you have to worry about.
You still get some tubes in tall sidewall tyres especially if they are going to run low pressure on agricultural vehicles, but very rare on road vehicles.
You also need to understand that tyres are made in common sizes. It is a frequent mistake to think you can just go a size wider or profile lower as such size tyres simply may not exist. In particular tyre sizes that might have been available 20 years ago are no longer viable to produce. While the most common tyre size is still 205 55 16, the entry level size of a tyre these days starts at 17". Even the Toyota Aygo, which 10 years ago was a 14" size is now 18" on the Aygo X even though the car is essentially the same.
it seems as tho the info i was given elsewhere wasn’t completely helpful shall we say.
its at least reassuring to know kwik fit must still get asked this and they still have to explain it.
have messed around with the width / diameter / profile generators on different sites for longer than i would have liked, i’ve never had any expectation that every w / d / p i’m considering is made, available & in my price range. but you make an interesting point about the trend towards the larger over time.
together with https://www.willtheyfit.com/ you may have quashed my dream of 225s ( ) but thanks again @NickD for helping me out.
Lower-profile tyres are pretty stupid given the state of the roads. The manufacturers must all assume we live in Germany, where they seem to iron the roads every night. And they get kerbed much more easily - you see Minis and the smaller BMWs where the rims are so chewed, it’s surprising they hold air.
