The short answer

The Grandtrac MT1 is Anchee's mud terrain tyre for utes and 4WDs that go where the road stops, in sizes from 15 to 17 inch. An open tread that clears itself, on a light truck casing built to carry a load.

  • Light truck construction on every size. 6, 8 and 10 ply, rated to carry 1,000 kg to 1,750 kg per tyre, with a second rating for twin wheels.
  • Flotation and metric sizes. 31x10.50R15, 32x11.50R15, 33x12.50R15 and 35x12.50R15 for lifted 15 inch rigs, and 265/70R16 to 285/70R17 for 16 and 17 inch utes and wagons.
  • Symmetric tread, so the tyres can rotate to any corner, spare included.
  • Five year manufacturer warranty, backed by us as the sole New Zealand importer.
  • Mostly gravel, not mud? The AC858 all terrain is quieter and wears longer.

What the Grandtrac MT1 is built to do

A mud terrain tyre for utes and 4WDs that spend their weekends in the bush, on the farm and in the river.

Mud beats most tyres by packing into the tread until there is nothing left to grip with. The Grandtrac MT1 is built around that one fact. Its tread is more gap than block, so mud and clay have somewhere to go and are thrown out again as the tyre turns. Big shoulder lugs wrap down onto the sidewall to bite when the tyre is aired down, and a 6, 8 and 10 ply light truck casing with a protective sidewall design takes the rocks, roots and ruts that come with the territory. It comes in the flotation sizes lifted 15 inch rigs run and the metric sizes 16 and 17 inch utes run, 11 sizes in all.

Built for the worst ground you drive on A mud terrain earns its keep in mud, ruts, clay and river crossings, and it gives up a little highway quiet and tread life to do it. If the worst your 4WD sees is gravel and farm tracks, the AC858 all terrain is the better buy. If it sees mud every week, this is the one.

How the Grandtrac MT1 tread works

Every part of the Grandtrac has a job to do. Here is what each one does for you when the road runs out.

The open tread. More gap than block, so mud has somewhere to go and the edges keep biting.

The sidewall. Raised lettering and shoulder lugs that carry the tread down the side of the tyre.

A tread that clears itself

The Grandtrac's blocks are tall and the gaps between them are wide, which engineers call a high void ratio and drivers call a tyre that does not clog. Mud and clay pressed into the tread are squeezed back out as each block leaves the ground, so every turn of the wheel arrives clean and the edges keep biting. That is the difference between an all terrain that packs up and spins in sticky ground, and a mud terrain that keeps pulling.

Lugs that bite when you air down

Off road you let pressure out so the tyre spreads and flexes, and that is when the shoulder matters. The Grandtrac's outer blocks run down over the shoulder onto the sidewall, so the tyre keeps gripping the walls of a rut or the side of a rock even when it is squashed flat. On a steep, greasy climb those lugs are what turn wheel spin into forward motion.

A casing for rocks, roots and ruts

Every Grandtrac size is light truck construction, 6, 8 and 10 ply, rated for the pressures a loaded or towing ute needs and built with a protective sidewall design for the knocks that come with the territory. That casing is what lets the biggest size carry 1,750 kg per tyre and still take a river crossing in its stride.

A compound that lasts on gravel

A mud terrain spends more of its life on gravel and the seal than in mud, and that is where a soft compound chunks and chips. The Grandtrac's compound blends natural rubber with high strength polymers and wear resistant materials, so the blocks resist cutting on sharp metal roads and hold their edges for grip in wet winter conditions. Rotate the set every service and the edges wear evenly, all four together.

The numbers that matter on a mud terrain

1,750 kgMost one tyre carries
108 to 127Load index, single wheel
6 to 10 plyLight truck casing

A mud terrain has no treadwear grade and no European label, because both schemes cover passenger tyres and every Grandtrac is light truck construction. What it gives you instead is the load index, and on a ute that carries and tows that is the number to buy on. Across the range it runs from 108 to 127 for a single wheel, which is 1,000 kg to 1,750 kg per tyre. Match or beat the index on your door placard, and if you have gone up a size, match it to the tyre the vehicle came on. Our vehicle load calculator does the sum for you.

Then run the right pressure for the ground. Aired down for mud and sand, more air in rock, and on the road no more than the placard: 40% of the light truck tyres we measure in our workshop are over inflated, against 6% under. The detail is in our tyre pressure guide.

Going up a size

Most Grandtracs are bought a size or two bigger than the tyre the vehicle came on, and the range is built for it: the flotation sizes for lifted 15 inch rigs, and 33 and 35 inch metric sizes for 16 and 17 inch utes and wagons. A taller tyre changes three things at once, so check all three before you order.

  • Clearance. Full lock and full compression, with the arch liners in place.
  • Gearing and the speedo. Our tyre size calculator shows the change in diameter against the size you have now.
  • The rules. Our WOF tyre guide covers when a bigger tyre needs a certifier's sign off, and the same axle rules: same size, same construction, same pattern type, load indices within 2.

Where the Grandtrac MT1 fits and where it does not

Good for

  • Utes and 4WDs that see mud, clay, ruts and river crossings
  • Hunting, forestry, farm and bush access on 15 to 17 inch wheels
  • Lifted rigs going up a size, with flotation and 33 and 35 inch sizes in the range
  • Towing and carrying off road, on a light truck casing with two load ratings
  • Easy rotation, because a symmetric tyre can go on any corner, spare included

Better served by another tyre

  • Gravel, farm tracks and the beach, with most kilometres on the seal. See the AC858
  • SUVs and family 4WDs that live on the highway. See the AC828
  • Vans and light trucks that stay on the road. See the AC838

Which vehicles the Grandtrac MT1 fits

These are factory and common fitments for the utes and 4WDs we see a lot of, matched to sizes we list in the Grandtrac. Most mud terrains go on as a plus size, so it is a starting point, not a promise. Read the size and the load index off your own sidewall or door placard, and check the clearance before you go bigger.

Is it the right tyre

Is the Anchee Grandtrac MT1 any good?

Yes. It is a proper mud terrain tyre: an open block tread that clears itself, shoulder lugs that bite when the tyre is aired down, and a 6, 8 and 10 ply light truck casing on every size, rated to carry up to 1,750 kg per tyre. One owner is on his fourth vehicle running them. 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 Grandtrac in our own workshop.

Mud terrain or all terrain: which do I need?

Be honest about the worst place the vehicle goes. If that is gravel, farm tracks and the beach, the AC858 all terrain will do it quietly and last longer. If it is mud, ruts, clay and river crossings, you want the Grandtrac: our 4WD tyre guide rates mud terrain tyres top for mud and off road traction, and that is the whole point of the open tread. The 4WD tyre guide compares the types side by side.

Is it noisy on the road?

Some, as any tyre this aggressive is. Big blocks with wide gaps between them make more sound on the seal than a highway tread, and that is the trade you make for a tyre that clears mud. Owners who run them daily describe it as a hum they stop noticing. If most of your kilometres are on the seal, the AC858 is the quieter buy and the Grandtrac is the one for the weekend truck.
Sizes, load and pressure

What do the two load numbers mean, and what is a flotation size?

A light truck tyre carries two load indices, like 123/120. The first is for a single wheel at each corner, the second for twin wheels on one hub. Across the Grandtrac range the single wheel rating runs from 108 to 127, which is 1,000 kg to 1,750 kg per tyre. The four sizes written as 31x10.50R15, 32x11.50R15, 33x12.50R15 and 35x12.50R15 are flotation sizes: the first number is the overall height in inches, the second the width. They carry one load index and go on lifted 15 inch 4WDs. Our load rating guide explains the numbers.

Does 10 ply carry 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 Grandtrac size lists it on its own page. The load rating chart has the full table.

What pressure should I run in mud, sand, rock and on the road?

Four different answers. In mud, air down so the tread can flex and the lugs can bite, then pump back up before the seal. On sand drop to 18 to 22 PSI and drive gently. In sharp rock keep more air in than you would in mud, because a low pressure lets the sidewall bulge onto the rock edges. On the road start from the placard and do not add to it on an empty ute: 40%% of the light truck tyres we measure in our workshop are over inflated, against 6%% under. Our tyre pressure guide and beach driving guide cover each one.

Can I go up a size?

Often, and a lot of Grandtracs are bought that way. A taller tyre changes your gearing, your speedo reading and the clearance in the arches, so check all three before you order. Our tyre size calculator shows the difference in diameter between the size you have and the one you want, and our WOF tyre guide covers when a bigger tyre needs a certifier's sign off. Whatever you choose, keep all four the same size, and on one axle the load indices within 2 of each other.

Is it directional? Which way round does it go?

No. The Grandtrac MT1 is symmetric and not directional, so it can be fitted either way round and rotated to any corner, spare included, which is the easiest way to get the full life out of a set of mud terrains. 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.
