Global Tire Bead Wire Market to Generate $2,521.6 Million by 2031 Owing to the Rising Sales of Electric Vehicles Across the Globe

Tire bead wire is a copper or bronze coated, high-carbon steel wire used for reinforcement of almost all types of pneumatic tires including those used for trucks, tractors, cars, buses, rickshaws, motorbikes, jeeps, and bicycles. The main function of tire bead wire is to provide reinforcement to the rubber tire on to the rim and to resist the action of inflated pressure acting to push the tire out of the rim. Thus, with the help of tire cords, the pressure of the vehicle is exerted on to the metal rim and rubber tire through the tire bead wire.
