KTD301-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for regional haulage fleets that operate on paved roads with occasional off-road or gravel surface exposure. The block pattern is structured for consistent traction and braking performance under load, with a focus on stability during cornering and on wet or uneven surfaces.
What KTD301-New Is Built For
KTD301-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for regional haulage fleets that operate on paved roads with occasional off-road or gravel surface exposure. The block pattern is structured for consistent traction and braking performance under load, with a focus on stability during cornering and on wet or uneven surfaces. It is supplied in five size and ply combinations, covering common regional truck configurations with load capacities from 2650 kg dual to 3250 kg single. The tyre carries TRA and ETTRO markings, indicating suitability for regional and general service duty. It is built for fleets that need one consistent drive pattern across mixed-duty routes without seasonal or surface-specific changes.
Manufacturer Feature Claims
- Typical block pattern design suitable for the drive axle of trucks
- Good braking and grip on the road
Key Benefits
- Typical block pattern design provides consistent grip and braking on paved and lightly unsealed roads
- Load index up to 149/146 supports axle loads from 2900 kg dual to 3250 kg single
- Five size and ply combinations cover 11R22.5 and 11R24.5 fitments used in regional trucks
- TRA and ETTRO markings confirm suitability for regional and general service duty
- Standard rim L is compatible with most regional truck wheels and axle configurations
Problems It Solves
- Drive tyres designed for highway use fail early on gravel or wet unsealed roads due to poor traction and braking
- Fleets requiring separate summer and winter drive patterns face double stock and fitting labour
- Lack of consistent tread pattern across regional routes leads to uneven wear and reduced casing life
- Inconsistent load capacity across sizes forces over-specification or under-rating of tyres
- Multiple suppliers and paperwork for different sizes increase procurement complexity and lead time
Who It Is For

Technical Features
- Radial truck tyre with block pattern designed for drive axle stability and grip under load
- Good braking and grip performance on paved and lightly unsealed road surfaces

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Highway long-haul drive tyres
KTD301-New sacrifices rolling resistance and highway mileage for better grip on unsealed and wet surfaces; on pure highway work a long-haul pattern will last longer per millimetre
Compared With Dedicated off-road drive tyres
A deep-lug off-road pattern grips better in mud but wears faster and runs noisier on paved sections of a regional route
Compared With Separate summer and winter drive tyres
The TRA and ETTRO markings allow year-round use without seasonal changeover, but a dedicated winter tyre still has the edge on packed snow
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the heaviest tyre available - overspecifying costs money and rides hard
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: L for both 11R22.5 and 11R24.5 sizes
- 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, particularly on fleets running heavy one-way loads
- Inspect tread and groove bottoms after every off-road cycle to protect the casing for retreading
KTD301-New Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 11R22.5 or 11R24.5 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, and 11R24.5 in 14PR and 16PR. Full load index, rim and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Is this tyre legal for regional use?
It carries TRA and ETTRO markings, which are standard for regional and general service duty. 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.
