Description

  • Anchee AC708 Passenger Car Tyres
    The Anchee AC708 is a passenger car tyre for everyday driving on New Zealand’s sealed roads. From the school run and daily commute to longer trips out of town, its tread combines water-drainage channels, support through the centre and shoulders, and a design that helps control tyre noise.
  • Tread design that helps reduce noise
    The AC708 uses a varied-pitch tread design. This means the repeating sections of tread vary in length, changing the timing of each section’s contact with the road.
  • Instead of concentrating the sound into one noticeable hum, this arrangement helps spread it across different frequencies. It is designed to reduce tread-pattern noise, although the sound inside your car will also depend on the road surface, vehicle and tyre condition.
  • Water drainage for wet roads
    Four wide grooves run around the tyre, working with smaller channels across the tread to move water away from the area touching the road. This helps the rubber maintain contact with the surface in wet conditions.
  • Steady handling for everyday driving
    A connected strip through the centre helps limit movement in the tread as the tyre rolls. Larger blocks along the shoulders provide support when cornering.
  • Together, these features help the tread retain its shape as the forces on the tyre change during driving.
  • A practical pattern for regular rotation
    The AC708’s symmetrical, non-directional tread allows flexibility when rotating compatible wheel and tyre assemblies. Regular rotation, following your vehicle’s recommended pattern, helps manage differences in wear between tyre positions. Correct pressures and wheel alignment also support even wear.
  • UTQG 480 A A
    The AC708 carries a treadwear grade of 480, with A grades for wet traction and temperature resistance. These are comparative test ratings, rather than a guaranteed number of kilometres. Actual tyre life depends on driving conditions, maintenance and vehicle setup.
  • Manufacturing and testing
    Anchee reports that its manufacturer’s testing laboratory holds ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. This international standard covers laboratory competence, equipment and testing procedures, helping provide confidence in the reliability of test results.
  • Choosing the right size
    Match the tyre size, load index and speed rating to your vehicle’s requirements. Check the individual listing for its fuel-efficiency, wet-grip and external-noise ratings, as these can vary between sizes.
