Kumho KLT02E Commercial Trailer Tire - EPA SmartWay Verified

The Kumho KLT02E is a medium-duty commercial truck tire engineered primarily for over-the-road trailer positions in long-haul, line-haul service. As part of Kumho's EPA SmartWay-verified lineup, the KLT02E utilizes specialized low rolling resistance tread cap and base compounds designed to help reduce fuel consumption, lower NOx emissions, and cut operating costs across your fleet.

At the core of the KLT02E's design is a shallow, five-rib non-skid tread pattern that delivers reduced rolling resistance, minimized irregular wear, and lower running temperatures throughout the tire's service life. The optimized rib pattern maintains consistent surface contact for enhanced stability and handling responsiveness — critical for free-rolling trailer axle positions under load.

Key Features:

• EPA SmartWay Verified — uses special low rolling resistance tread cap and base compounds to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions
• Five-rib shallow tread design — minimizes rolling resistance, reduces irregular wear, and lowers operating temperatures
• Blading and lateral grooves — enhance wet traction and confident grip in adverse conditions
• Round shoulder design with decoupling grooves — reduces uneven shoulder wear for extended tread life across all sizes
• High-strength, flex/fatigue-resistant ply wire — improves casing durability for longer casing life and retreadability
• Versatile axle positioning — designed primarily for trailer positions but usable in steer positions in low wear-rate applications
• Optimized casing construction — absorbs road surface variations to protect cargo and reduce stress on the vehicle

The KLT02E is available in multiple commercial truck sizes to suit a wide range of medium-duty fleet applications. Its combination of fuel efficiency technology, long-wearing tread design, and EPA SmartWay certification makes it a smart choice for fleet operators focused on performance, sustainability, and total cost of ownership.
