lol it usually means that the rubber compaound is reinforced with something similair to a wire mesh or other meterials to strenghten the rubber and extend life of the tire

you take a leather, hard belt, take the tire, put it on a chair, and beat it.

Isn't also considered belting when you put ducttape in it to prevent it from balloning?
