Commercial tires are built to last a long time, so you won't have to replace them as often as regular tires. That is when the manufacturer has a trusty name on the market. One of those brands is LingLong and their new KTD23. This is a drive position model designed for regional applications, more specifically for high scrub conditions.
Primarily, the LingLong KTD23 features a unique lugged tread pattern that ensures superior traction and surface contact. Plenty of zig zag grooves combined with lateral ones expel water from the footprint to minimize the risk of aquaplaning. This aggressive tread pattern also provides trusty braking performance and handling ability, making the job easier and safer for the driver. An open shoulder design combats heat buildup and improves lateral traction. Moreover, it promotes even wear and strong casing integrity to reduce maintenance costs as much as possible.
Secondly, this model benefits from a rational distribution of sipes that adds extra biting edges for stronger road grip and truck stability. Also, the wear resistant rubber compound increases the lifespan of the tire while offering less resistance when rolling, thus reducing fuel usage. Durable sidewalls deliver protection to the rim by fighting off lateral forces, resulting in much smoother cornering performance. Besides, the stiff internal structure supports load pressure with ease, allowing up to 4.805 lbs per single tire. The LingLong KTD23 comes with many ply rating options and a speed index of L, depending on the size. It is available on the US market in popular sizes such as 215/75R17.5, 245/70R19.5 and more.
