In principle, yes. Tubeless tyres have the advantage that the entire tyre is thicker rubberised, as it also has to hold the air. This makes it harder for thorns to penetrate and the sidewall can also withstand more if, for example, it is crushed by the rim on a kerb (snake bite). Tubeless tyres also prevent stones from getting between the tube and tyre, where they can rub and perforate the tube. The stiff carcass holds the tyre - if a thorn punctures it, the tyre cannot burst like a balloon but only loses air slowly. The tubeless tyre sits more tightly on the rim, which also has a more strongly moulded rim flange. This prevents the tyre from slipping off the rim. As there is no inner tube, the valve cannot be torn off by a "wandering" tyre.
