GET TO KNOW / AC838
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.

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.
