You can read up more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radial_tire Personally for me, I don't bother too much about how they construct the tyre. Main thing for me is the size, load index and speed rating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberttan 5th Gear February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 steel belted tyre hard and bump compare to others steel belted makes the tyre more durable and stronger to certain degree of impact. But the problem is how good the steel belted is constructed and bonded into tyre is the Technology. Some time we could see some rubber pc lying along expressway , poor quality tyre more prompt to this kind of tyre separation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty still renew a thick layer of rubber n re-thread e tire. Much cheaper than buying a new tire. Some wil dislodge if not glued on properly. Cheeper options fr those big truck tires cos a new tire is very ex. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SG i dun think ty re-thread car tires anymore. Very old technology n sporeans all rich never re-thread. Just buy new. Worst case buy 2nd hand tires.

5936 1st Gear February 24, 2013 Share February 24, 2013 I beg to disagree. Kelvar or polymide nylon materials can also be found in some models. It will have effects on carcass weight and responsiveness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
