Hookless rims are lighter and stronger — until the wrong tire blows off. After several incidents, ETRTO published the official 2024 Compatibility List: only tires with 622mm bead seats under 5 bar (72 PSI) max pressure can be paired with hookless rims.

This infographic maps: which tires are ETRTO-approved for hookless use, what the max PSI ceiling is per rim width, and the burping risk threshold for each combination. If you are riding hookless, this is your safety reference.
