GET TO KNOW / AC818

A different job for each side of the tread.

The AC818 is an asymmetric performance passenger tyre designed to bring together road grip, steering support and everyday comfort. Smaller tread elements on the inner section work with larger blocks on the outer section, giving the pattern a distinct division of roles.

The outer blocks provide a substantial contact area and support under cornering forces. The inner pattern adds smaller tread elements for road grip, while the arrangement of blocks and grooves is designed to manage pattern noise. A carbon-polymer compound supports traction while limiting rolling resistance, with the overall design balancing lateral support and flexibility as the tyre rolls.

NEW ZEALAND DRIVING

Enjoy the road between destinations.

A performance-focused option for New Zealand’s sealed roads, from motorway commutes to winding regional routes. The AC818’s larger outer blocks support cornering, while its asymmetric layout balances grip and comfort—useful qualities for drivers who want their everyday tyre to feel responsive on the open road.

PURPOSE IN THE PATTERN

The details behind the drive.

NZ retail listings checked 1 November 2026. Listings are not a live stock count. “—” means no complete grade is listed. Open the retail listing for current pricing and availability.

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.

NEED A HAND?

Let’s find your fitment.

Give your retailer your tyre size, load and speed rating, plus your vehicle make and model. They can help confirm the right AC818 fitment, pricing and availability.

KNOW YOUR SIZE

Look on your tyre’s sidewall.

Find a marking like the example below on the side of your tyre.

205/55 R16
205
Width — the tyre’s nominal width in millimetres.
55
Profile — sidewall height as a percentage of the width.
R
Construction — R means radial.
16
Wheel size — the wheel diameter in inches.

Enter 205/55R16 or 205 55 16 in the size finder.

Different markings or a 4WD size?

Some tyres use an inch-based size such as 31x10.50R15: nominal diameter, width and wheel diameter, all in inches. Enter the complete size as shown. Commercial sizes such as 195R14 are also supported.

Letters such as LT, XL or run-flat markings describe additional requirements. The numbers and letter after the size, such as 91V, are load and speed ratings. Check these against your vehicle’s requirements too.

Check the vehicle’s tyre placard or handbook as well as the current tyres. Front and rear sizes can differ. Your retailer can confirm the right fitment.
