What is claimed: 1. An endless elastomeric track having guide lugs on the inner circumference and rubber tread lugs on the outer circumference and a thin band continuously extending in the circumferential direction, the thin band having an exterior peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface

What is claimed: 1. An endless elastomeric track having guide lugs on the inner circumference and rubber tread lugs on the outer circumference and a thin band continuously extending in the circumferential direction, the thin band having an exterior peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface, the track comprising at least one primary cable of galvanized steel circumferentially reinforcing the thin band, wherein the at least one primary cable has a diameter between 2.0 and 14.0 mm and the at least one primary cable is a zinc-coated wire bundle having a ((3횞0.35 mm)+(6횞0. 63 mm)+6횞(0.63 mm+6횞0.57 mm)) construction. 2. The endless elastomeric track of claim 1 wherein the at least one primary cable is helically wound forming a reinforced layer extending across the track from a first end on a first side of the track to a second end on the opposite side of the track. 3. The endless elastomeric track of claim 1 wherein the at least one primary cable has a 5.3 mm diameter. 4. The endless elastomeric track of claim 1 wherein the at least one primary cable is spaced at 10 ends per inch or less when viewed in a cross section taken across the width of the track. 5. The endless elastomeric track of claim 1 the track further comprising a belt reinforcing structure having two or more cross plies reinforced by cords of galvanized steel circumferentially reinforcing the thin band. 6. An endless elastomeric track having guide lugs on the inner circumference and rubber tread lugs on the outer circumference and a thin band continuously extending in the circumferential direction, the thin band having an exterior peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface, the track comprising at least one primary cable of galvanized steel circumferentially reinforcing the thin band wherein the thin band is an elastomeric rubber mixture encapsulating the at least one primary cable, the elastomeric rubber mixture composition comprised of, based upon 100 parts by weight elastomers (phr), (A) elastomers comprised of 20-100 phr isoprene rubber and correspondingly, zero to 80 phr of styrene/butadiene rubber; (B) 30 to 70 phr of reinforcing filler selected from rubber reinforcing carbon black and silica wherein the selected reinforcing filler is comprised of 20 to 70 phr of said carbon black and from zero to 40 phr silica, (C) cobalt salt from 0.5 to 3 phr; (D) Sulfur from 2 to 5 phr; (E) Zinc oxide from 3 to 9 phr. 7. An endless elastomeric track having guide lugs on the inner circumference and rubber tread lugs on the outer circumference and a thin band continuously extending in the circumferential direction, the thin band having an exterior peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface, the track comprising a belt reinforcing structure having two or more cross plies reinforced by cords of galvanized steel circumferentially reinforcing the thin band; wherein the thin band is an elastomeric rubber mixture encapsulating the reinforcing structure, the elastomeric rubber mixture composition comprised of, based upon 100 parts by weight elastomers (phr), (A) elastomers comprised of 20-100 phr isoprene rubber and correspondingly, zero to 80 phr of styrene/butadiene rubber; (B) 30 to 70 phr of reinforcing filler selected from rubber reinforcing carbon black and silica wherein the selected reinforcing filler is comprised of 20 to 70 phr of said carbon black and from zero to 40 phr silica, (C) cobalt salt from 0.5 to 3 phr; (D) Sulfur from 2 to 5 phr; (E) Zinc oxide from 3 to 9 phr.
