Steel Belt
Steel belts are layers of high-tensile steel cord embedded in rubber, positioned beneath the tread of a radial tyre. They provide rigidity to the tread area, resist punctures from road debris, and help maintain the tyre's footprint under varying loads. Most passenger and commercial tyres use two crossed steel belt layers for optimal strength.
