GET TO KNOW / AC708
Comfort for the journeys you make every day.
The AC708 is a touring passenger tyre for the school run, the daily commute and longer trips on sealed roads. Its symmetrical tread brings together a supported centre, substantial shoulder blocks and four main drainage grooves, giving each part of the pattern a practical job to do.
Comfort starts with the way the tread meets the road. Repeating sections vary in length to spread their contact noise across different frequencies, rather than concentrating it into a single hum. Through the centre and shoulders, connected rubber and larger blocks help the tread hold its shape as the car changes direction. The main grooves and smaller connecting channels give rainwater a route out of the contact area.
NEW ZEALAND DRIVING
Everyday comfort, from town to the open road.
A practical choice for New Zealand commuters and family cars travelling mainly on sealed roads. The AC708’s focus on tread-noise control, water drainage and steering support suits the mix of suburban streets, motorway journeys and weekend road trips that makes up everyday Kiwi driving.
PURPOSE IN THE PATTERN
The details behind the drive.
Water drainage in the wet
Four wide grooves run around the tyre, connected by smaller channels that help move water away from the contact area.
Support through turns
A connected centre strip limits tread movement, while substantial shoulder blocks help support road contact when cornering.

Understanding load ratings, ply ratings & UTQG
Load / speed: the load index and speed symbol identify the tyre’s rated capacity and speed category. A pair of load indexes gives the single and dual fitment ratings. Match your vehicle’s requirements.
XL and ply rating: XL identifies an extra-load tyre. A ply rating describes a strength category; it is not a count of the physical layers in the sidewall.
¹ UTQG: shown as treadwear / traction / temperature. These are comparative test grades, not a mileage promise. The traction grade relates to straight-line wet braking, rather than cornering.
