Many people suppose that tires are made out of rubber, because that's what is visible. Bead The "bead" is the edge of the tire. Fabric Cloth fabric is woven between the two beads to form the body or "carcass" of the tire. The fabric threads don't interweave with crossing threads as with normal cloth, but are arranged in layers or "plies" of parallel threads. Some tires use thick thread, some use thin thread for the fabric. The higher the TPI number, the thinner and more flexible the tire fabric is. Bicycle tires have the threads of the fabric running diagonally, ("bias") from bead to bead. Rubber Tubular Tires Bars
