The bead core, also known as bead wires, is the ring of steel wires embedded within the bead of a tire. This component provides the necessary strength and rigidity to ensure that the tire remains securely seated on the wheel rim. The bead core plays a crucial role in maintaining the tire’s shape and preventing it from slipping off the rim, especially under high loads or during cornering. Its robust construction ensures a tight and reliable fit between the tire and the rim, contributing to the overall safety and performance of the tire.
