83 lb for on road tires. I think it's good enough
Will this work to make my tires belted?

I have done fishing line and kevlar kite string.
It works but eventually, it will get cut.
In the end I'd buy belted tires next time because it was a pain....

What type of tire is it? Some treads work better with that than others.

I have tried a few different things to do this and the best one I have found is this 200 LB cord

I glue one end to the tire and let it get hard and then wrap the tire 3 times and glue the other end and then glue 2 or 3 more spots around the tire as well. I have never had this cord rip (I don't run my trucks on gravel only dirt and grass). It has come unglued but thats an easy fix and not often. But this has held up to a lot and the reason I like it is because the glue can soak into it and really get a good bond with the tire. Belted tires are good but when you want to run something like backflip tires you don't have a belted option unless you go with proline belted badlands which at $140 a set kind of hurts and they are big and heavy. Or you go cheaper belted like duratrax but I haven't had the best luck with them
