The eagerly-awaited 315\/70 version is coming on stream as we write, and there is every reason to believe that will prove just as popular.<\/p>\n<p><strong>KRD50<\/strong><br \/>\nMiller is equally enthusiastic about KRS50\u2019s regional drive axle partner, KRD50, which has proved to be a significant improvement over the tried and tested KRD02 pattern it replaced. On average, customers are experiencing a 10-15 percent increase in mileage and improved wear performance characteristics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional extra-load offerings<\/strong><br \/>\nRecognising the increasing level of demand for extra-load tyres, Kumho will be producing such versions of both its KLS03 and KXS10 steer patterns in the near future. The KLS03 benefits from dual step groove technology and optimised weight design for fuel efficiency in long haul operations, while the KXS10 multi-performance tyre offers excellent all- season performance across a variety of operational demands with increased mileage and improved handling performance.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the company\u2019s overall performance in the truck sector Miller said: \u201cThe division is at a major stage in its development and I have to say I\u2019m very pleased with the year-on-year increase in sales. The  brand has been readily accepted back into the market place with products customers know they can rely upon. Our goal is clear \u2013 ie to be a leader in terms of \u2018total cost of ownership\u2019, and we are making promising strides in that direction.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kumho continues to reap the benefit of its return to the truck tyre market and is achieving rapidly growing sales courtesy of some very well accepted new products.
