		BELT DEFENDER TECHNOLOGY Toyo's four-belt construction, featuring Belt Defender, protects the tire casing against cutting, chipping, and impact breaks for outstanding retreadability. A typical casing without Belt Defender is rusted and damaged. Retreading may require excessive "buzz outs" or the casing may be rejected for retreading. The worst enemy of tire life is rust from moisture penetrating steel cord filaments. Our solution is a special rubber compound that protects the third and fourth belts from rust migration into the belt package caused by nicks and cuts. We call it Belt Defender. It increases the adhesion between the tread rubber and the steel belts for increased belt durability and dramatic improvement in retreadability. Belt Defender means higher casing acceptance and lower cost-per-mile
