steel belts
Radial tire layers
Steel belts are layers of steel wire woven into the rubber of a tire, running beneath the tread to provide strength and stability.
They help the tire maintain its shape, resist punctures, and improve handling.
A steel-belted radial is the standard modern tire design, with the belts running perpendicular to the direction of travel.
