Another question:
I'm curious about the belts used on my 225/75/16 LT Michelin load range E.
tires
that I use.

I had always assumed they were all steel belted but now I'm not sure.
What is the make up of the belts, where are they located and what numbers
of each?
For example, is it 2 steel belts on the side wall and 2 polyester on the
tread ?? or what??

I could go outside and look at my side walls for the information, but it's
a better day for typing than looking....it's -20C or -4F outside !

Thanks

Mike in NS

Mike,

I Googled "Michelin Tire Cross Section" and got a bunch of hits one of which was images of the tire cross section. I tried to copy
and paste the URL but for some reason it won't work, sorry.
