Are there steel cords in Continental Ultra 2000 tires? I thought I had picked up some glass but
there was not a visible puncture from the rod side of the tire. I felt around on the inside of the
tire and ran across what appeared to be a steel belt or wire coming from the center of the casing
that was causing the flats. I broke out the trusty Leatherman and whittled away at the wire/? thing
that was causing the flats until it was gone. But the curiosity of having a steel wire coming
through is surprising. I also wondered, if the cord was broken, am I more at risk for some
catastrophic failure when I hit a corner at speed? The tires don't have 750 mil;es on them....
