Rubber Tyre Flaps
Tyre flaps are installed on the Rim to prevent the Tube from any kind of damage and impairment as a result of getting into direct contact with the Metal rim.
These flaps are capable of bearing high heat and temperature.

A tire flap, also known as a tube flap or inner tube flap, is a protective liner made of rubber or a similar material that is placed between the inner tube and the tire in a vehicle's tire assembly. Its primary purpose is to prevent chafing or rubbing between the inner tube and the inside of the tire, which can cause damage to the tube and result in a flat tire.
Tire flaps are commonly used in situations where inner tubes are still used in tires, such as in certain types of heavy-duty or commercial vehicles, as well as some older or specialized vehicles. The flap acts as a cushion and barrier, reducing friction and wear between the tube and the tire, thereby extending the life of the tube and helping to prevent flats or blowouts.
In modern tubeless tire designs, the use of tire flaps is less common, as the tire and wheel are designed to work together without an inner tube. However, in tubeless tire systems, the tire may have its own inner liner or additional layers designed to perform a similar protective function to prevent air loss or tire damage.
