What KTD10-New Is Built For
KTD10-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for long-haul highway operations. It features a new tread pattern aimed at improving mileage and reducing irregular wear through a closed shoulder design. Low rolling resistance helps reduce fuel consumption over extended routes. The tyre is built for consistent performance across highway conditions with load and pressure ratings that match standard 6x4 and 8x4 tractor units. Eight sizes are available across 11R22.5, 11R24.5, 295/75R22.5, and 285/75R24.5, with ply ratings of 14 and 16, and load indices from 144/142 to 147/144, all with a speed symbol of L.

Problems It Solves
- High rolling resistance in older drive patterns increases fuel costs over long distances
- Irregular wear from open shoulder designs shortens tread life and increases replacement frequency

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Older drive-axle patterns without closed shoulder design
KTD10-New reduces irregular wear and extends tread life on highway routes where shoulder wear is common
Compared With Tyres with higher rolling resistance
KTD10-New reduces fuel consumption over long distances, improving total cost of ownership
Compared With Tyres designed for mixed or off-road use
KTD10-New is optimized for highway performance; off-road patterns wear faster and increase fuel use on paved roads
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the heaviest tyre available - overspecifying increases cost and ride harshness
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 8.25 for 11R22.5 and 11R24.5, 9.00 for 295/75R22.5
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Monitor tread wear regularly to ensure even wear across the shoulder and centre blocks
- Use the same size and pattern across drive axles to maintain consistent handling and load distribution
KTD10-New Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 11R22.5 or 295/75R22.5 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?
11R22.5 in 14PR and 16PR, 11R24.5 in 14PR and 16PR, 295/75R22.5 in 14PR and 16PR, and 285/75R24.5 in 14PR and 16PR. Full load index, rim, pressure, and dimension data for each is in the size table.
Is this tyre suitable for highway use?
Yes. It is specifically designed for the drive axle of trucks running on highways, with low rolling resistance and a closed shoulder to reduce irregular wear.
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.
