Antares Grip 60 ice

Friends, I don't want to mislead anyone, but I want to leave a realistic review. And whether there are more pros or cons - it's up to you to decide. In a nutshell: the winter was not snowy and not frosty, all the studs are in place. Not a single one is worn out or torn. The tire is like new. Softness is the same as on summer tires. You can't start moving quickly from a traffic light - it skids on metal, as if there's no rubber, just metal studs. I couldn't test its passability - there was no snow in Moscow this winter. Noise - this is the biggest problem. The howl is such that you can't hear anything on the phone. It's like driving a plane, not a car. I consider the handling to be more or less, although on the arc of the overpass, it skids, with the same screeching of studs, like driving on needles. In general, it's up to you to decide, this is the cheapest studded Chinese tire and it has its place on commercial and Soviet cars, but on good foreign cars, it's just awful. It's cheap and nasty, but next time I would probably choose something else. But that requires money. It brakes like on needles - very long. After a hundred, the howl is like on a grinder, my wife even laughs. There were no problems with balancing. It doesn't vibrate, everything is fine. (P.s. the howl is just terrible. I've never seen anything like it).

At a claimed width of 265, the actual width along the sidewalls (not to be confused with the contact patch) is 230mm, which is simply ridiculous. The actual diameter is 754mm instead of 776.

Loud to the point of insanity, 60-80 km/h produces a very strong hum, the tread seems to be almost entirely in place, I'll be hoping it will break in and become quieter, the handling is all normal, doesn't differ much from the brand-name ones
