Belt
Belts are layers of steel or textile cord positioned between the casing and the tread in a radial tyre. They stabilise the tread area, resist punctures, and help maintain the tyre's shape under load and at speed. Most passenger tyres have two steel belt layers positioned at opposing angles to maximise strength and flexibility.
