KTD23-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for light and mini trucks operating in regional service with high traction and high scrub demands. The horizontal tread pattern delivers strong drive and braking performance, while the shoulder pattern groove and open design allow for effective heat dissipation during sustained operation.
What KTD23-New Is Built For
KTD23-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for light and mini trucks operating in regional service with high traction and high scrub demands. The horizontal tread pattern delivers strong drive and braking performance, while the shoulder pattern groove and open design allow for effective heat dissipation during sustained operation. A pattern block stiffener reduces the risk of block root tear and maintains the integrity of the tread pattern under heavy use. It is supplied in five sizes across 16, 12, and 14 ply ratings, with load indices from 125/123 to 135/133 and a speed symbol of L, suitable for regional haulage, delivery fleets, and urban construction transport.
Manufacturer Feature Claims

- Trucks running high-frequency routes with repeated loading and unloading in city centres
- Service vehicles operating in markets where drive-axle durability under high scrub is critical
Technical Features
- Horizontal tread pattern optimized for drive and braking performance on regional routes
- Shoulder pattern groove and open design for improved heat dissipation under sustained load
- Pattern block stiffener to reduce root tear and maintain tread pattern integrity

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard regional drive tyres without block stiffeners
The pattern block stiffener in KTD23-New reduces root tear and maintains tread integrity under high scrub conditions
Compared With Tread patterns designed for highway rolling resistance
The horizontal and open groove design prioritizes traction and heat dissipation over low rolling resistance
Compared With Tyres with lower tread depth for light-duty use
15.0 mm to 15.8 mm tread depth supports longer casing life in high-scrub regional service
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load; do not overspecify to avoid higher cost and harsher ride
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 6.00 for 215/75R17.5, 6.75 for 225/70R19.5, 7.50 for 245/70R19.5
- 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 loading patterns
- Inspect tread blocks for signs of root tear after high-scrub routes to monitor casing integrity
KTD23-New Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 215/75R17.5 or 245/70R19.5 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?
215/75R17.5 in 16PR, 225/70R19.5 in 12PR and 14PR, and 245/70R19.5 in 14PR and 16PR. 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 high scrub applications?
Yes. The horizontal pattern, block stiffener, and open groove design are specifically intended for high traction and high scrub regional service.
