KTD303-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for regional and national transport fleets that operate on a mix of paved highways and light unpaved roads. The shoulder block pattern is optimised to resist damage from lateral forces and edge impacts, which commonly occur when driving on gravel or poorly maintained surfaces.
What KTD303-New Is Built For
KTD303-New is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for regional and national transport fleets that operate on a mix of paved highways and light unpaved roads. The shoulder block pattern is optimised to resist damage from lateral forces and edge impacts, which commonly occur when driving on gravel or poorly maintained surfaces. It carries the M+S marking for improved grip and stability in wet and snowy conditions. HAT technology reduces heat build-up during prolonged operation, helping to extend casing life. The tyre is available in 20 sizes across 14 ply ratings, from 9.00R20 14PR to 315/80R22.5 20PR, covering most regional delivery trucks, light haulers, and urban service vehicles.

Application Scenarios
- Regional delivery trucks running daily between city distribution hubs and rural delivery points on sealed and unsealed roads
- Urban service vehicles such as refuse collectors and utility trucks operating on mixed road surfaces
- Light haulers transporting goods between regional depots and retail outlets on gravel access roads
- Fleets operating in markets with seasonal wet or snowy conditions where M+S marking is required
- Operators needing a single drive-axle pattern that performs across highway and light off-road use without frequent replacement
Technical Features
- Shoulder block design optimised to resist edge and lateral damage on light unpaved surfaces
- M+S marking ensures grip and stability in wet and snowy conditions
- HAT technology reduces heat generation during prolonged operation
- Radial casing construction with norm tread depth ranging from 14.0 mm to 19.0 mm across sizes

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard highway drive tyres
KTD303-New resists shoulder damage on unpaved roads but may have lower rolling efficiency on pure highway routes
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 roads
Compared With Tyres without M+S marking
KTD303-New remains legal in winter conditions in markets requiring M+S, avoiding seasonal changeover
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the highest available tyre – overspecifying increases cost and ride harshness
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 6.00 for 215/75R17.5, 6.75 for 9.5R17.5 and 235/75R17.5, 7.0 for 9.00R20, 7.5 for 10.00R20, 9.00 for 12R22.5 and larger 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, especially on fleets with one-way heavy loads
- Inspect shoulder blocks after every run on gravel or unpaved roads to detect early signs of edge damage
KTD303-New Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 12R22.5 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?
20 sizes: 9.00R20, 10.00R20, 9.5R17.5, 12R22.5, 295/80R22.5, 315/80R22.5, 215/75R17.5, 235/75R17.5, 265/70R19.5. 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 the M+S marking, which is required for winter use in many markets. Confirm your own national regulation 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.
