The short answer

The AC858 is Anchee's all terrain tyre for utes, 4WDs and SUVs that leave the seal, in sizes from 15 to 20 inch. Gravel, farm tracks and the beach on weekends, quiet on the highway in between.

  • Two builds, one tread. Six passenger construction sizes graded UTQG 520 A A, and eight light truck sizes with a heavier casing, 6, 8 and 10 ply, for utes that carry and tow.
  • Carries up to 1,550 kg per tyre. Load index 100 to 123 across the range.
  • B for wet grip on the European label on the light truck sizes, and an A on the 31/10.5R15.
  • Symmetric tread, so the tyres can rotate to any corner of the vehicle for even wear.
  • Five year manufacturer warranty, backed by us as the sole New Zealand importer.
  • Serious mud? The Grandtrac MT1 is the Anchee built for that.

What the AC858 is built to do

An all terrain tyre for utes, 4WDs and SUVs that split their time between the seal and everything else.

Most New Zealand 4WDs spend the week on the road and the weekend somewhere rougher, and the AC858 is built for exactly that split. Four curved grooves clear water on the highway and throw mud and gravel back out off it, wide open shoulder blocks bite into loose surfaces, and a reinforced casing shrugs off the stones and ruts that would bruise a highway tyre. It comes in sizes from 15 to 20 inch, in a passenger build for SUVs and a light truck build for utes that work.

Built for the split An all terrain tyre trades a little highway quiet for real grip on gravel, and the AC858 keeps that trade small: its tread blocks are packed closely enough to stay composed at open road speed. If the vehicle never leaves the seal, the AC828 highway tyre is quieter still and wears longer. If it lives in the mud, the Grandtrac MT1 is the one.

How the AC858 tread works

Every part of the AC858 has a job to do. Here is what each one does for you, on the road and off it.

Diagram of the Anchee AC858 tread with four labelled zones
The AC858 tread, zone by zone. Open it full size to read the labels.

Grip on gravel and mud

Four deep grooves run right around the AC858, and they are curved rather than straight. On the seal that curve keeps a broad band of rubber on the road while the water drains. Off it, the curve does something a straight groove cannot: as the tyre rolls, it squeezes the mud and gravel packed into the tread and throws it back out, so the tyre cleans itself every turn of the wheel and keeps biting instead of clogging up and skating.

Traction and braking from the shoulders

The AC858's shoulder blocks are wide and open, with big gaps between them. Each block is an edge that digs into loose gravel, wet grass and mud when you pull away, and holds the tyre straight when you brake on a loose surface. Because the blocks are large they stay rigid in a corner, so the vehicle feels planted on a winding metal road instead of wandering.

A casing built for rough ground

Gravel roads and farm tracks throw stones at a tyre all day, and the shoulder takes the worst of it. The AC858 is built on a reinforced carcass with a convex sidewall that puts extra rubber where the rocks hit, so it resists cuts and chips and wears evenly. The light truck sizes go further, with a heavier casing rated for the pressures a loaded or towing ute needs.

Composed on the highway

An all terrain tyre still spends most of its life on the seal, so the AC858's centre blocks are cut with zigzag sipes: fine slits that open into hundreds of extra edges for grip on a wet road, and let each block flex a little as it lands, which softens the ride and keeps the noise down at 100 km/h. On the European label the range measures 71 to 72 decibels, and the six passenger construction sizes are graded 520 for treadwear against a median of 400 for the tyres that come through our workshop.

How the AC858 is graded

520Treadwear, passenger sizes
1,550 kgMost one tyre carries
BWet grip, light truck sizes

The six passenger construction sizes all carry the same UTQG grade: 520 for treadwear, A for traction and A for temperature. A is the highest temperature grade there is. The median treadwear for the tyres that come through our workshop, low profiles aside, is 400, so at 520 the AC858 is graded 30% higher. The full numbers are in our low profile tyre guide.

The eight light truck sizes sit outside the UTQG scheme, which only covers passenger tyres, so they are graded on load and on the European label instead. Every one of them scores a B for wet grip, one step off the top grade, and the 31/10.5R15 scores an A. Their load indices run from 100 to 123 for a single wheel, which is 800 kg to 1,550 kg per tyre.

On speed, the passenger sizes are T rated (190 km/h) and the light truck sizes are R, S or Q, which reflects a casing built for load rather than speed. Every size that carries a European label grades D or E for fuel, which is normal for an all terrain tread and is set out size by size below.

Read the label for your size, not for the pattern

The two builds grade differently on the European label. The light truck sizes score B for wet grip and E for fuel, with the 31/10.5R15 scoring an A for wet grip. The passenger construction sizes score C for wet grip and D for fuel, apart from the 265/50R20, which scores E for fuel. Noise runs from 71 to 72 decibels across the range.

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 AC858 fits and where it does not

Good for

  • Utes and 4WDs that see gravel, farm tracks and back roads every week
  • Beach and boat ramp access, with grooves that clean themselves
  • Towing and carrying, on the light truck sizes with two load ratings
  • SUVs on the passenger sizes, graded 520 against a typical 400
  • Easy rotation, because a symmetric tyre can go on any corner

Better served by another tyre

  • Vehicles that never leave the seal. See the AC828
  • Deep mud, ruts and serious off road work. See the Grandtrac MT1
  • Vans and light trucks that stay on the road. See the AC838

Which vehicles the AC858 fits

These are factory and common fitments for utes and 4WDs we see a lot of, matched to sizes we list in the AC858. It is a starting point, not a promise. Always read the size and the load index off your own sidewall or door placard before you order, and if you are going up a size, check the clearance and the speedo first.

Is it the right tyre

Is the Anchee AC858 any good?

Yes, and the numbers back it up. The six passenger construction sizes carry a UTQG grade of 520 A A. The eight light truck sizes score a B for wet grip on the European label on all but one, and the 31/10.5R15 scores an A, the top grade. Load ratings run up to 1,550 kg per tyre. It comes with a five year manufacturer warranty, from a factory with more than ten years of experience building tyres for Yokohama. We have been the sole New Zealand importer of Anchee since 2018, and we fit the AC858 in our own workshop.

All terrain, highway or mud terrain: which do I need?

Be honest about where the vehicle really goes. If it lives on sealed roads, the AC828 highway tyre is quieter and wears longer. If it sees gravel, farm tracks, the beach or a boat ramp every week, the AC858 is the one, and our 4WD tyre guide rates all terrain tyres top for gravel roads. If it spends real time in mud and ruts, step up to the Grandtrac MT1. The 4WD tyre guide compares all three side by side.

How long will it last?

Longer than most tyres of its kind. The six passenger construction sizes are graded 520 for treadwear, and the median for the tyres we inspect in our workshop, low profiles aside, is 400. The light truck sizes carry no treadwear grade, because the scheme only covers passenger tyres, but they are built on the same tread with a heavier casing. Gravel is hard on any tyre, so keep the pressures right and rotate the set, and the AC858 will look after you.
Two builds, load and pressure

Why do some sizes have a ply rating and two load numbers?

Because the AC858 comes in two builds. The eight sizes with a ply rating, 6, 8 and 10 ply, are light truck construction: a heavier casing rated for higher pressure, built for utes that carry and tow. They carry two load indices, the first for a single wheel at each corner and the second for twin wheels, and run from 800 kg to 1,550 kg per tyre. The six T rated sizes are passenger construction: lighter, quieter and a step better on fuel, with one load index and 950 kg to 1,120 kg per tyre. Match what your door placard shows. If it lists a light truck or C size, stay with a light truck build. Our load rating guide explains the numbers.

Does 10 ply mean it carries more than 6 ply?

Not on its own. Ply rating is a term left over from the days when it counted layers of cotton in the casing, and in our own workshop records every 6 ply tyre we measured carries more than the weakest 8 ply. Read the load index instead. It converts straight to kilograms, and every AC858 size lists it on its own page. The load rating chart has the full table.

What pressure should I run on gravel, sand and the road?

Three different answers. On the road, start from the placard, and if the ute runs empty most of the week do not add to a light truck tyre: 40%% of the light truck tyres we measure in our workshop are over inflated, against 6%% under. On gravel a few PSI down from the road setting gives a softer ride and a tread that bites rather than skips. On sand drop to 18 to 22 PSI, drive gently, and pump back up before the seal. Our tyre pressure guide and beach driving guide cover each one.

What do the speed ratings mean?

The letter is the top speed the tyre is built and tested for. Across the AC858 range they run Q (160 km/h), R (170 km/h), S (180 km/h) and T (190 km/h). None of those is a speed you will legally see in New Zealand, and the lower letters on the light truck sizes reflect a casing built for load rather than speed. Our speed rating guide covers how to choose.

Is it directional? Which way round does it go?

No. The AC858 is symmetric and not directional, so it can be fitted either way round and rotated to any corner of the vehicle. On a 4WD that is worth doing every service, because the fronts and rears wear differently. Our tread pattern guide shows how to tell the types apart.
Buying

Can you fit them for me?

Yes. Every size has a fitted and balanced option at our Te Puke workshop. Choose it on the tyre's own page, then book a time online. If you are further away we deliver, and any tyre shop can fit them.

What warranty does it carry?

A five year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, backed by us as the New Zealand importer. Normal wear and road hazard damage are not covered.

Who makes Anchee tyres?

Anchee tyres are made by Xingyuan, which the China Rubber Industry Association ranks seventh among Chinese tyre makers, and which has more than ten years of experience building tyres for Yokohama. We have been the sole New Zealand importer since 2018. There is more on our Anchee page.
