The AC808 is Anchee's everyday car tyre, made for hatchbacks, sedans and small wagons on 13 to 16 inch wheels. Graded 420 A A: quiet, good in the wet and built to wear slowly, at a price that makes a full set easy.
- UTQG 420 A A on every graded size. Right on the median of 400 for the tyres we inspect in our workshop.
- B for wet grip on the European label on 20 of the 32 labelled sizes, one step off the top grade.
- 70 to 72 decibels. Among the quietest tyres we sell.
- Symmetric tread, so the tyres can rotate to any corner of the car for even wear.
- Five year manufacturer warranty, backed by us as the sole New Zealand importer.
- Bigger wheels? The AC818 covers low profile performance sizes from 16 to 21 inch.
What the AC808 is built to do
An everyday tyre for the cars New Zealand actually drives: Corollas, Swifts, Mazda 3s, Jazzes and everything like them.
The AC808 is built for the daily run: school, work, the supermarket, the odd trip up the line. That means four straight grooves to clear the rain, a fine symmetric tread that stays quiet on chip seal, a silica compound that rolls easily and wears slowly, and a cut resistant tread that shrugs off the potholes. It comes in 33 sizes from 13 to 16 inch, which covers most of the cars on the road.

How the AC808 tread works
Every part of the AC808's tread has a job to do. Here is what each one does for you on the road.
Quiet on chip seal
Most tyre noise is the tread blocks meeting the road, thousands of times a minute, and New Zealand's coarse chip seal makes every tyre louder. The AC808's blocks are cut in a mix of lengths and set in a tuned order, so the sound they make is spread across many notes instead of building into one drone, and its fine pattern lands softly. On the European label the AC808 measures 70 to 72 decibels, and 30 of its 32 labelled sizes come in under the median of 72 decibels across every tyre we list, which makes it one of the quietest tyres we sell.
Grip in the wet
Four straight grooves run right around the AC808 and give the water under the tyre the shortest path out. The ribs between them are cut with fine sipes, matched to the steel belts underneath, that open into hundreds of extra edges to bite on a wet road. That is what you feel as a car that stops straight and steers cleanly in the rain. It shows on the label too: 20 of the 32 labelled sizes score a B for wet grip, one step off the very top grade.
Easy rolling, lower fuel bills
The AC808's compound is blended with silica, which lets the tread flex without wasting energy as heat. Less energy lost each turn of the wheel means lower rolling resistance, and Anchee has tuned the tread construction, the pattern and the rubber together to keep it that way. On a car that does a lot of short trips, that is a difference you see at the pump over the life of the set.
Slow, even wear
The same silica formula sets the stiffness of the tread, so the blocks wear slowly instead of scrubbing, and a cut resistant compound resists the nicks and chunks that turn into uneven wear on rough roads. The proof is in the grading: a treadwear rating of 420, right on the median of 400 for the tyres that come through our workshop. Rotate the set every service and it will wear out evenly, all four together.

How the AC808 is graded
Every graded AC808 size carries the same UTQG grade: 420 for treadwear, A for traction and A for temperature. A is the highest temperature grade there is. The one size without a grade on its page, the 155/80R13, is the smallest in the range.
On treadwear the AC808 sits right on the median of 400 for the tyres that come through our workshop, low profiles aside, which is exactly where an everyday tyre should be: not a soft grip first compound that is gone in two years, and not a hard one that gives up wet grip to get there. The full numbers are in our low profile tyre guide.
On speed, 10 are T rated (190 km/h), 15 are H rated (210 km/h) and 8 are V rated (240 km/h). On load, the index runs from 79 to 98, which is 435 kg to 750 kg per tyre, and two sizes are XL for extra load.
Read the label for your size, not for the pattern
Across the 32 AC808 sizes with a European label, 20 grade B for wet grip, 11 grade C, and the 175/70R14 grades E. Fuel is C or D depending on the size, and noise runs from 70 to 72 decibels.
Identical tread pattern, different casing, different result. That is why every rating on our product pages sits against the size you are buying and never against the pattern name.
Where the AC808 fits and where it does not
Good for
- Hatchbacks, sedans and small wagons on 13 to 16 inch wheels
- Daily commuting and town driving, where quiet and easy rolling count
- Wet roads, with a B for wet grip on most sizes
- Anyone replacing a full set on a budget without giving up the grades
- Easy rotation, because a symmetric tyre can go on any corner
Which cars the AC808 fits
These are factory sizes for cars we see a lot of, matched to sizes we list in the AC808. It is a starting point, not a promise. Always read the size and the speed letter off your own sidewall or door placard before you order, because wheels get changed.

What AC808 owners say
More than 40 reviews on Judge.me, 91% of them five stars. These six are from verified buyers, word for word.
Low price, but just as good as a tyre double the price. No issues with handling in the wet or on long car journeys. Not sure on how much mileage you would get out of a set of these tyres though.
Straight away felt improved steering responsiveness. Cornering secure. The reduction of tyre noise on a really noisy chip seal (annoying they can get away with that) is noticeable. Perhaps 5 decibels but didn't check the prior tyres. Satisfied customer
Excellent tayers done 50 thousand km some can do recommend to everyone. Thanks for the brand Anchee
Arrived at my door 2 days after ordering. Awesome. Now I have quite, smooth driving. Will be ordering all tyres from you guys.
Awesome tyre and excellent value for money. Will happily purchase again as I only bought 2 so far.
Very easy process to select tyres online and have it delivered free the following day. This service has saved a 3hour round trip. You can't beat their prices. The most affordable place out.
Every review sits on the page of the tyre it was written for, and you can read all of them on Judge.me.
