KMA653-New is a radial truck tyre designed for light and mini trucks that operate on both paved roads and unsealed surfaces. It is suitable for all axle positions—steering, drive, and trailer—making it a consistent fit across a vehicle’s full wheel set.
What KMA653-New Is Built For
KMA653-New is a radial truck tyre designed for light and mini trucks that operate on both paved roads and unsealed surfaces. It is suitable for all axle positions—steering, drive, and trailer—making it a consistent fit across a vehicle’s full wheel set. The tyre features a thick sidewall to resist impacts and bruises from curbs and rough terrain, and a stone rejection design in the groove bottom to prevent aggregate from embedding and damaging the casing. HAT technology reduces heat buildup during operation, improving casing longevity under sustained load. Seven sizes are available in 12, 14, and 16 ply ratings, covering common light truck applications in construction, delivery, and agricultural transport.

Key Benefits
- Thick sidewall construction resists impacts and bruises from curbs and rough terrain
- Stone rejection design in groove bottoms prevents trapped aggregate from damaging the casing
- HAT technology reduces heat generation during operation, improving casing life
- Seven sizes across 12, 14, and 16 ply ratings cover all axle positions on light and mini trucks
- Load index up to 128/124 and max single load of 1800 kg at 770 kPa on the 8.25R16LT 16PR fitment
Problems It Solves
- Standard light truck tyres fail early on unsealed roads due to thin sidewalls and poor stone resistance
- Stones lodged in groove bottoms cause casing damage before tread wear is complete
- Using different tyres for steering, drive, and trailer axles increases stock and fitting complexity
- High heat buildup in radial tyres under load shortens casing life on long hauls or heavy loads
- Lack of a single pattern that fits all axle positions leads to multiple SKUs and higher inventory
Who It Is For
- Tyre distributors supplying light and mini truck fleets in mixed-surface markets
- Fleet operators replacing tyres that fail due to sidewall damage on rough roads
- Importers needing one tyre pattern that covers all axle positions across multiple vehicle types
- Contractors buying tyres by the container for captive fleets operating on varied terrain
Application Scenarios
- Delivery vans and light trucks running from urban distribution hubs to rural delivery points on gravel access roads
- Construction site support vehicles moving between paved yards and unsealed work zones
- Agricultural transport vehicles carrying goods from fields to processing points on dirt tracks
- Fleets operating in mixed-surface markets where a single tyre must handle both highway and off-road duty
- Trucks used in mining and quarry logistics where axle positions face varied surface conditions
Technical Features
- Radial casing construction with thick sidewall design for impact and bruise resistance
- Stone rejection profile in groove bottoms to eject trapped aggregate under deflection
- HAT technology to reduce heat generation during operation
- Seven sizes available across 12, 14, and 16 ply ratings for all axle positions
- Tread depth of 11.5 to 13 mm across all sizes, with consistent tread pattern for even wear

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard light truck tyres with thin sidewalls
KMA653-New’s thick sidewall resists damage on rough roads, extending casing life where thin sidewalls fail early
Compared With Tyres without stone rejection design
The groove bottom profile in KMA653-New ejects trapped aggregate, reducing the risk of casing puncture
Compared With Tyres without HAT technology
Reduced heat generation improves casing longevity under sustained load, especially on long hauls
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the highest available rating—overspecifying increases cost and ride harshness
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 5.50F for 7.00R16LT, 6.00G for 7.50R16LT, 6.50H for 8.25R16LT
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Rotate axle positions before irregular wear sets in, especially on fleets with one-way heavy loads
- Inspect groove bottoms for lodged stone after every off-road cycle to protect the casing for retreading
KMA653-New Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 7.00R16LT or 8.25R16LT typically fills at container weight rather than volume, so the practical minimum is one container. Mixed loads across sizes and patterns are accepted.
What is the lead time?
It depends on whether the size is in stock at the plant or has to be produced. We confirm current availability with the plant at the time of quotation rather than quoting a standard figure.
Which sizes are available?
7.00R16LT in 12 and 14 PR, 7.50R16LT in 12 and 14 PR, and 8.25R16LT in 12, 14, and 16 PR. Full load index, rim, and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Can you supply DOT or ECE marked tyres?
Marking requirements vary by destination. Tell us the import market and we confirm what marking the plant can supply on that size before you place the order.
What warranty do you give?
One year against manufacturing defect on all tyres we supply, with claims handled by us directly. Cargo transportation insurance is provided on the shipment itself.
Can you ship a mixed container with other patterns?
Yes. Most of our customers load one container across several patterns and sizes, which is the main reason to buy through us rather than from a single plant.
Is this tyre suitable for all axle positions?
Yes. The KMA653-New is designed for steering, drive, and trailer axles on light and mini trucks.
