Despite the lack of widespread brand recognition under which the Antares Grip 20 winter tire is released, this model has quite good technical characteristics, more than competitive against numerous analogs, especially from Chinese manufacturers. They are provided by a whole range of modern technologies that have found application in the design of this tire.
Dual center rib
A significant part of the advantages demonstrated by this model is provided due to the original design of the central longitudinal rib. It consists of two equal parts separated by a wide drainage groove in the shape of an arrow. This design improves several important technical characteristics at once. The most significant of these include stability of traction properties at high speed, increased traction on snow, reduced rolling resistance, and resistance to uneven wear.
Zigzag sidewalls of tread blocks
In addition to the open design, the shoulder zones are distinguished by an unusual configuration of the blocks contained here. They have a large height, and their sidewalls have a zigzag shape. The combination of such design features gives the tire excellent performance on snowy roads.
