KTD200-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for regional and national transport fleets that operate on highways, national roads, and general roads. The shoulder block pattern is optimised to reduce damage from lateral forces and edge impacts, improving casing life. It carries M+S and 3PMSF markings, allowing year-round use without seasonal changeover.
What KTD200-New Is Built For
KTD200-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for regional and national transport fleets that operate on highways, national roads, and general roads. The shoulder block pattern is optimised to reduce damage from lateral forces and edge impacts, improving casing life. It carries M+S and 3PMSF markings, allowing year-round use without seasonal changeover. The tread compound delivers high wear resistance across mixed road conditions, maintaining grip and stability under load. Five size and ply combinations are available, covering common 6x4 and 8x4 regional haulers and delivery trucks.
Manufacturer Feature Claims

Key Benefits
- Optimised shoulder block reduces damage from lateral forces and edge impacts on national and general roads
- M+S and 3PMSF markings allow year-round use without seasonal tyre changeover
- High wear resistance extends tread life on mixed highway and regional road duty
- Five size and ply combinations from 315/80R22.5 to 315/60R22.5 cover standard regional and national transport vehicles

Problems It Solves
- Shoulder damage from repeated turns and lateral forces shortens casing life on regional haul trucks
- Seasonal tyre changeover increases cost and labour for fleets operating in winter-marked markets
- Tread wear is accelerated on mixed road duty when tyres are not optimised for regional use
- Drive-axle tyres designed for long-haul highway use wear out faster on frequent urban and regional routes
- Lack of M+S and 3PMSF marking limits legal use in winter conditions without a separate winter pattern
Who It Is For
- Tyre distributors supplying regional and national transport fleets in Asia, Africa, South America and Europe
- Fleet operators seeking a single drive-axle pattern for year-round use on mixed road networks
- Importers buying tyres by the container for regional transport fleets with consistent axle loads
- Wholesale distributors needing one pattern that covers multiple regional truck models and load levels
Application Scenarios
- Regional haulage trucks running daily between city distribution centres and regional depots on mixed highway and general roads
- Delivery fleets operating on national roads with frequent stops and turns that stress shoulder areas
- Trucks making long hauls on paved national routes with occasional access to gravel or unsealed feeder roads
- Fleets that must maintain legal winter tyre compliance without switching patterns seasonally
- Operators replacing drive-axle tyres that fail prematurely due to shoulder damage or rapid tread wear
Technical Features
- Shoulder block pattern optimised to reduce damage from lateral forces and edge impacts
- M+S and 3PMSF markings confirmed for winter road legality in target markets
- High wear resistance tread compound designed for extended life on national and general roads
- Radial casing construction with consistent tread depth across all listed sizes
- Drive-axle design suitable for trucks operating on highways, national roads, and general roads

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Long-haul highway drive tyres
KTD200-New prioritises shoulder durability and wear resistance over rolling efficiency; on pure highway duty, a long-haul pattern may last longer per millimetre
Compared With Dedicated regional or off-road drive tyres
A deeper tread and more aggressive pattern improves off-road grip but reduces tread life and increases noise on paved roads
Compared With Separate summer and winter drive tyres
The M+S and 3PMSF marking removes the need for seasonal changeover, but a dedicated winter pattern still offers better performance in deep snow
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the highest rating available - overspecifying increases cost and reduces ride comfort
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 9.00 for 315/80R22.5 and 315/70R22.5, 9.75 for 315/60R22.5
- 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 load patterns
- Inspect shoulder areas after every regional run for signs of edge damage to extend casing life
KTD200-New Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 315/80R22.5 or 315/60R22.5 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?
315/80R22.5 in 18PR and 20PR, 315/70R22.5 in 16PR, and 315/60R22.5 in 16PR. Full load index, rim and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Is this tyre legal for winter use?
It carries both the M+S and the 3PMSF alpine markings, which is the marking most European winter regulations require. Confirm your own national rule before ordering.
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.
