I understand that a stainless steel is used since rusting of the
belts inside the tire would be a bummer.
I would suppose it is a non-workhardening alloy, 302 perhaps?
Does anybody here know?

302 is work hardening. Why use stainless if it is encapsulated in rubber.
Music wire seems more appropriate. It is stronger and costs less.

Here's the alloy:

It's a high-carbon steel. Note that tire cords are plated with brass or
bronze for better adhesion to the rubber.
