Tyre reviews Antares Grip 60 ice 222

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

The quality is good, the spikes are in place. The mileage is still small, it's hard to say about wear resistance, it will be clear in a couple of seasons. I took it as a replacement for Michelin - it turned out to be a complete fig, although they held the road perfectly - but they fell apart in the second season. So far, the impressions are only positive, by the way, the noise level is small, or maybe the sound insulation is just well done. There is a slight skid in the turns, but it's quite manageable.

The tires are excellent, they handle the road well, they grip ice and snow with ice very well. They brake well on both dry and wet asphalt!
The only minus is that they are a bit noisy.

The first 2 years were fine. This spring, when replacing, I found delamination of the carcass in the form of multiple bulges on the inside along the entire circumference + a small crack in the same place. I didn't drive on them when they were deflated. Apparently, it's a defect. In terms of road characteristics, I was satisfied with them. Even with the cheap Sailun, which went through fire and water for 5 years, I didn't have anything like this.

I haven't encountered louder tires. I, of course, understood that the tread pattern is designed for harsh conditions and you have to pay for it with comfort, so I still put 5 because they cope with the set task exactly at 5!
