GET TO KNOW / AC838

A working tread for vans and light commercials.

The AC838 is a light commercial pattern built around tread support, grip and water drainage for everyday working use. Large centre blocks and transverse shoulder elements give the contact area a substantial structure for regular road journeys.

Closed shoulder sections provide lateral rigidity to support traction and braking, while the centre and shoulder layout is designed to promote stable handling and consistent wear. Three longitudinal grooves give water a path along the tyre, and the zigzag pattern adds edges for road grip. It is a practical combination for vehicles that spend their day moving between jobs, deliveries and longer road trips.

NEW ZEALAND DRIVING

Ready for the route between jobs.

For New Zealand vans and light commercial vehicles, the AC838 offers a road-focused pattern for delivery rounds, trade work and travel between towns. Its supported blocks and drainage grooves suit everyday working use, with the correct size and load rating selected for the vehicle and its carrying requirements.

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.

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.
