Almost all modern tires contain steel. The steel is used in the bead of the tire which is the part that makes contact with the edge of the wheel called the rim. This bead is made up of steel wrapped in rubber. There is also steel belts within the tire. Most automobile tires today contain 2 steel belts. These are made up of fine steel wires imbedded in rubber and they run diagonally around the inside of the tire.http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/how-to/products/how-tires-are-made
