KWD600-New is a radial truck tyre designed for drive axles of trucks operating in snow and icy conditions. The tread pattern is optimized for consistent grip and stability on winter routes, with M+S and 3PMSF markings to meet winter road legal requirements. The rib contact design reduces uneven wear and improves wet handling and braking performance.
What KWD600-New Is Built For
KWD600-New is a radial truck tyre designed for drive axles of trucks operating in snow and icy conditions. The tread pattern is optimized for consistent grip and stability on winter routes, with M+S and 3PMSF markings to meet winter road legal requirements. The rib contact design reduces uneven wear and improves wet handling and braking performance. Five sizes are available, ranging from 295/80R22.5 to 315/80R22.5, with ply ratings from 16 to 20 and load indices up to 156/150. All sizes use a 9.00 standard rim and are supplied with ETRTO norm tread depth. This tyre supports mixed-surface operations where snow and ice are common, without requiring seasonal tyre changes.

Problems It Solves
- Fleets must change tyres seasonally to stay legal in winter zones, increasing cost and downtime
- Standard summer tyres lose grip on snow and ice, increasing stopping distance and accident risk
- Uneven wear on winter tyres reduces casing life and increases replacement frequency
- Lack of consistent tread depth across sizes leads to mismatched wear and premature casing failure
- Multiple suppliers and paperwork are needed when sourcing tyres from different plants for a mixed container
Who It Is For
- Tyre distributors supplying winter-ready drive tyres to fleets in cold climates

Application Scenarios
- Fleets operating in northern Europe, Russia, or parts of South America during winter months with snow and ice
- Truck operators running long-haul routes that cross mountain passes or regions with frequent snowfall
- Construction and utility vehicles that must remain operational through winter without changing tyres
- Distribution trucks serving rural or high-altitude areas where winter road conditions are common
- Mining support vehicles that travel on paved roads in winter but may encounter snow on access routes
Technical Features

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Standard summer drive tyres
KWD600-New maintains grip on snow and ice, while summer tyres lose traction and increase stopping distance in winter conditions
Compared With Dedicated off-road winter tyres
KWD600-New is optimized for paved and mixed-surface winter routes; off-road patterns wear faster and run noisier on tarmac
Compared With Separate summer and winter drive tyres
The 3PMSF marking allows year-round use without seasonal changeover, reducing stock and fitting labour
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: all sizes use 9.00 rim width
- 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 for ice and snow buildup after winter operations to prevent uneven wear and casing damage
KWD600-New Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 295/80R22.5 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?
295/80R22.5 16PR, 315/70R22.5 16PR and 18PR, and 315/80R22.5 18PR and 20PR. 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.
