Nylon Cap Overlay Plys

In addition to properly making the tire, and warning the users and dealers of the significance of sudden vibration, tire makers could substantially reduce these catastrophic separation accidents by incorporating a nylon cap ply between the top steel belt and the tread. The cost and time required are minimal. Most tire makers have long been incorporating nylon caps in their tires – but only in some of them. They should be in all tires. It is clear that nylon cap plys help to prevent the spread of belt edge separation from reaching the point that the entire tread suddenly peels off the tire and causes an accident.
