The devoted readers of our blog are no doubt aware of my habit of highlighting little-known tire manufacturers whose products are nonetheless worth a look. After all, you can make some great discoveries with a little digging on Blackcircles.ca! Today, I did the work for you by finding the four most popular tires from Antares, a new player on the market. Founded just recently in 2006, the company is named after a star in the Scorpio constellation. Let's see if its products are as dazzling as its name!
The all-rounder: Antares Ingens A1
The main advantages of Antares tires are their reliability and their low price, and the model that best represents this philosophy is without a doubt the Ingens A1. Whatever your vehicle, chances are it's available in the right size and with the right speed rating. Comfortable, grippy and with great handling, this is an unpretentious tire that will make your driving safe without emptying your wallet. Don't let the price fool you, however, its exclusive tread and unique rubber make it a quality product!
The off-roader: Antares SMT A7
If you're planning on going off-road, don't go with worn-out tires. Even if your budget is limited, the Antares SMT A7s will take you on the road and off the beaten path. Particularly robust, they can handle heavy loads and maintain their performance on all types of roads. With a tire like this one, no more punctures (or almost...)!
The big brother: Antares Majoris R1
Is your car too big for Ingens tires? You'll probably have to turn to the Antares Majoris R1, designed specifically for the needs of SUVs. They offer all the same benefits as their cousins, but are available in sizes up to 22 inches. Like the Ingens, it's their comfort that stands out, thanks to their tread that's made to be quiet and grippy.
The winter: Antares Grip 20
Although we are just leaving the cold season as I write this, it is never too early to prepare your equipment for the coming winter. Have you ever considered the Antares Grip 20? One of the least expensive choices in its category, their performance is still spectacular, both in terms of stability and steering. No matter what the road conditions are, their biting sipes and symmetrical tread allow them to evacuate snow while maintaining their handling.
