radials
Steel-belted rubber circles
Radials are tires constructed with cords running perpendicular to the direction of travel, giving them flexibility and durability.
The term distinguishes them from older bias-ply tires: I need new radials on the front.
In anatomy, radial refers to the radius bone of the forearm or structures radiating from a center point.
