KMD402-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for trucks that operate across mixed surfaces, including paved highways, gravel haul roads, construction sites, and quarry access routes. The tread pattern prioritizes grip and stability under load rather than rolling efficiency, and the sidewall is reinforced to resist impacts and bruising from curbs, rocks, and uneven terrain.
What KMD402-New Is Built For
KMD402-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for trucks that operate across mixed surfaces, including paved highways, gravel haul roads, construction sites, and quarry access routes. The tread pattern prioritizes grip and stability under load rather than rolling efficiency, and the sidewall is reinforced to resist impacts and bruising from curbs, rocks, and uneven terrain. Stone rejection grooves are engineered to expel trapped aggregate before it can damage the casing. The tyre carries the K speed symbol and is available in two sizes: 10.00R20 18PR and 315/80R22.5 in 18PR and 20PR, covering common drive axle configurations in 6x4 and 8x4 trucks.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Suitable for Drive Axle of Trucks Under All Kinds of Working Conditions
- Thick sidewall design protects against sidewall impacts and bruises
- Stone rejection design protects groove bottom from stone puncture
- Lasting grip and stability
Key Benefits
- Thick sidewall construction resists impacts and bruises from curbs and unsealed surfaces
- Stone rejection groove design prevents trapped aggregate from working through to the belt package
- Tread depth of 22.5 mm on the 315/80R22.5 size provides extended casing life for high-mileage use
- Load index up to 156/150 K supports 4000 kg single at 850 kPa on the 315/80R22.5 20PR fitment
- K speed symbol allows highway use at up to 110 km/h without performance compromise
Problems It Solves
- Standard highway drive tyres fail early on unsealed roads due to thin sidewalls vulnerable to impact damage
- Stones lodged in groove bottoms can drill through to the belt, causing casing loss before tread wear is complete
- Running separate tyres for on-road and off-road duties increases stock, storage, and fitting complexity
- Deep-lug off-road tyres wear quickly and generate excessive noise on paved sections of the same route
- Lack of a single drive pattern that meets both on-road and off-road performance and marking requirements
Who It Is For
- Tyre distributors supplying fleets that operate on mixed-surface routes in Asia, Africa, and South America
- Fleet operators replacing drive-axle tyres that fail due to sidewall damage rather than tread wear
- Importers seeking one drive pattern that covers both on-road and off-road duties without seasonal change
- Contractors buying tyres by the container for captive fleets in remote or rugged environments
Application Scenarios
- Trucks running from a quarry to a processing plant on gravel roads, then back on paved highways
- Construction site delivery trucks navigating unsurfaced access roads and urban routes
- Timber haulers moving logs from forest roads to sawmills with a mix of off-road and highway segments
- Municipal utility vehicles operating on both paved streets and unpaved maintenance routes
- Fleets in mining support roles that travel on graded haul roads and tarmac interchange roads
Technical Features
- Drive-axle radial construction with thick sidewall for impact resistance on mixed surfaces
- Stone rejection groove profile designed to eject trapped aggregate under load deflection
- Tread block pattern optimized for grip and stability under load across varied terrain
- Tread depth of 20.0 mm on 10.00R20 and 22.5 mm on 315/80R22.5, both meeting standard tread depth norms
- K speed symbol allows sustained highway operation at up to 110 km/h without derating

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Long-haul highway drive tyres
KMD402-New sacrifices rolling resistance and highway mileage for sidewall strength and stone protection on mixed surfaces
Compared With Dedicated off-road drive tyres
A deep-lug off-road pattern offers better traction in mud but wears faster and runs noisier on paved roads
Compared With Separate on-road and off-road drive tyres
Using one pattern for both surfaces reduces stock, fitting labour, and inventory complexity
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the highest rating available - overspecifying increases cost and reduces ride comfort
- Check standard rim size: 7.5 for 10.00R20, 9.00 for 315/80R22.5
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Rotate drive 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
KMD402-New Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 10.00R20 or 315/80R22.5 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?
10.00R20 18PR, 315/80R22.5 18PR, and 315/80R22.5 20PR. 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 winter use?
The tyre does not carry M+S or 3PMSF markings. Confirm your winter regulation requirements with your local authority before ordering.
