New on-/off-road truck radial from Kumho USA

Kumho Tire USA Inc. has released the KMD41 medium truck and bus radial for on- and off-road applications, reports Tire Review. Designed for applications such as refuse, construction and mining and logging, the Kumho KMD41 shows improved traction against the previous offering, and “removes the 55 miles per hour speed restriction of the previous product, increasing the speed certification to 65-miles per hour for normal highway driving,” the tyre-maker said.

“The KMD41 is the ideal drive tyre for any on- or off-highway application where high drive traction is required,” said Ron Gilbert, Kumho commercial truck tyre sales manager. “The KMD41 is also easier on the environment, built with environmentally friendly processing oils.”

Using Kumho’s latest rubber compounding technology, the KMD41 “also provides increased on-road traction and greater resistance to cutting and chipping in off road conditions,” and Kumho’s Integrated Component Optimization System improves casing durability and retreadability.

In addition, the KMD41 features high aromatic oil-free technology in an effort to reduce unnecessary hazardous materials from entering the eco system.
