There is no tube in a tubeless tyre. The tyre and the rim of the wheel form an airtight container to seal the air as the tubeless tyre has an inner lining of impermeable halobutyl. The valve is directly mounted on the rim. If a tubeless tyre gets punctured, air escapes only through the hole created by the nail, thus giving substantial time between a puncture and a flat tyre.

Advantages: cooler running, better puncture resistance, lighter weight (hence better handling),
Disadvantages: Small roadside puncture repairers cannot fix them. Needs prober tools so that the tread is not damaged in dismount (mount). No problems in towns. Somewhat higher 'bleed' rate sometimes needing more frequent filling - say one in 10-15 days, cannot be used on very badly rims.

Bear in mind that any dents in the rim caused by going over potholes can result in leaks around the rim.

One way is by removing the tyre and inserting a tubeless tyre plug/patch on the inside. These plugs/patches are mostly from the company Unipatch (OMNI) and are available at most tyre shops nationwide costing about the same as tube patches.
The other method is even easier than repairing a tube tyre as it does not necessitate removal of the tyre from the rim. Infact an owner can fix it himself!!!
