* The belt system is placed on top of the casing in the construction process.
* The belt system's main function is to provide stability to the tread area of
the tire, which contributes to wear, handling & traction.
* The most common belt material used is steel. Steel belts provide strength &
stability to the tread area without adding a lot of weight to the tire.
* Usually two plies of steel cord placed at opposite bias angles make up the
belt system.
* The most common belt configuration is two plies of steel cord stacked, one on
top of the other.
