Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Summer-only radial tyres
KWS600-New provides legal winter traction and stability; summer tyres lose grip on snow and ice and may be prohibited in regulated markets
Compared With Dedicated off-road truck tyres
KWS600-New is optimized for snow and ice, not mud or gravel; off-road tyres wear faster and perform poorly on paved winter roads
Compared With Tyres without 3PMSF marking
KWS600-New meets the most stringent winter tyre standards in Europe and Russia; non-3PMSF tyres may not be allowed in winter driving zones
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the highest available rating; overspecifying increases cost and reduces ride comfort
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 9.00 for 295/80R22.5, 315/70R22.5, and 315/80R22.5; 11.75 for 385/65R22.5; 12.25 for 385/55R22.5
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Rotate steer and trailer positions before irregular wear sets in, especially on fleets with uneven load distribution
- Inspect tread for ice and snow buildup after winter operations to maintain grip and prevent damage
KWS600-New Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 295/80R22.5 or 385/65R22.5 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 in 16PR and 18PR, 315/70R22.5 in 18PR, 315/80R22.5 in 20PR and 22PR, 385/55R22.5 in 18PR and 20PR, and 385/65R22.5 in 20PR and 24PR. 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 M+S and 3PMSF markings, which are required for winter use in many European and Asian markets. Confirm your local 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.
