🥝 Orchards & Rural

Orchard Utes
265/65R17 • 265/70R16 • 245/70R16
AC858 is ideal — good grip without deep lugs that clog with orchard mud
Farm Utes
265/65R17 • 31x10.5R15 • 235/75R15
Handles gravel, grass, light mud — durable for everyday farm work
🥝 Bay of Plenty Tip: Based in Te Puke — kiwifruit capital of NZ — we've fitted hundreds of orchard vehicles. The AC858 works best for most orchards — aggressive enough for wet grass and loose soil but doesn't clog like M/T tyres. For seriously wet winter conditions (kiwifruit harvest), consider the Grandtrac MT1 instead.

🎯 BEST USE CASES

The AC858 is designed for drivers who need genuine all-terrain capability without sacrificing highway comfort. Here's where it excels:

🚜
Farm & Station
Gravel roads, paddocks, stock yards — handles mud without clogging
🥝
Orchards
Kiwifruit, avocado, citrus — grips wet grass and loose soil
🛣️
Highway + Gravel
Daily highway commute with weekend gravel road trips
🏕️
Camping & Hunting
Forest tracks, DOC roads, beach access — reliable traction
🔧
Trade Utes
Builders, sparkies, plumbers — tough enough for job sites
🚛
Towing
Boat, trailer, caravan — LT construction handles the load
⚠️ Consider the Grandtrac MT1 instead if: You need serious mud capability (winter orchards, swampy tracks), extreme off-road use, or want the most aggressive look. The MT1 has 15mm tread depth vs the AC858's 12mm. View Grandtrac MT1 →

⚔️ AC858 vs COMPETITORS

How does the AC858 stack up against popular all-terrain tyres in NZ? Here's an honest comparison:

Feature Anchee AC858 BFGoodrich KO2 Maxxis AT-771 Toyo Open Country
Price (265/65R17) $200 $450+ $280 $350
UTQG Treadwear 520 N/A 500 N/A
Tread Depth 12mm 15mm 12mm 13mm
Wet Grip (EU) B-C C C C
Warranty 5 years 6 years 2 years 5 years
NZ Stock ✅ 13 sizes ❌ Often backordered ✅ Good ✅ Good

Bottom line: The AC858 delivers 80-90% of the performance of premium all-terrains at 50-60% of the price. For most Kiwi drivers who want reliable all-terrain capability without the premium price tag, it's the smart choice.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes — the AC858 achieves a UTQG 520 A A treadwear rating, meaning excellent longevity on sealed roads. The symmetrical tread pattern provides stable highway handling and reasonable noise levels for an all-terrain tyre. Most customers use them as daily drivers with highway commutes.
With the UTQG 520 treadwear rating, the AC858 should last 50,000-70,000km+ depending on driving style, road conditions, and maintenance. This is comparable to premium all-terrain tyres at double the price.
Absolutely — the 265/65R17 is the stock size for Ford Ranger XLT/Wildtrak and Toyota Hilux SR5 models. It fits directly on factory wheels with no modifications needed. We stock this size and can have them delivered within 1-3 business days.
Yes — it's our top recommendation for Bay of Plenty orchards and farms. The tread is aggressive enough for wet grass and loose soil but not so deep that it clogs with mud like some M/T tyres. For seriously wet conditions (winter kiwifruit harvest, avocado orchards on hills), consider the Grandtrac MT1 instead.
The BFGoodrich KO2 is a premium all-terrain at $400-500+ per tyre. The AC858 offers similar construction (reinforced sidewalls, aggressive shoulder lugs) at $150-295 — roughly 50-60% less. The KO2 has better brand recognition and slightly more aggressive looks, but for most NZ drivers the AC858 delivers comparable real-world performance.
Most Ford Rangers (2011+) use 265/65R17 as the stock size — this fits XLT, Wildtrak, and FX4 models on 17" wheels. Rangers with 18" wheels (some Wildtrak/Raptor) use 265/60R18. Older models may use 265/70R16. We stock all these sizes.
Yes — we offer fitting and balancing at our Te Puke workshop (31 Station Road). Add $35-40 per tyre to the prices shown. We also deliver nationwide with free North Island shipping, so you can get them fitted at your local tyre shop if you prefer.
5-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This is the same warranty period offered by premium brands like Michelin and Continental.
