Compared to other tires I have ever used: These are absolute carbage. No wet grip at all. Useless tires.

Antares EU label data
6 of the 8 tyres on record carry EU label data. These are the range's label headliners, using each tyre's best available size figures.
B Best wet grip
6 tyres reach EU wet grip class B. The highest scoring:
B Lowest rolling resistance
The most fuel efficient choice: 3 tyres reach rolling resistance class B. The highest scoring:
69dB Quietest tyres
The quietest tyres in the range are labelled from 69 dB external noise:
Label values come from the EU EPREL database and vary by size - the figures here are each tyre's best declared size. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict: the tests and rankings above tell you far more.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
These tires are on my 2017 Dodge Grand Carivan. The tires spin and slide on wet pavement. I drive like a cautious old man so that's saying something .
These tires came on the van from the used car lot at the dealership .
Cheap. Cheap cheap. I am glad I have a set of Michelin snows . I will be buying Michelin summer tires when the time comes.

Antares “Slip” 20 is a tyre you should avoid. Can”t be balanced normally, an oval tyre from factory, can be driven “normally” till 80km/h. Quite noisy and feels like a jelly - though works predictable on snow and sludge, doesn”t work on ice at all. In general - waste of your money.
Surprisingly decent for the money. I got these from a local shop last February and had them mounted for use this winter. Compared to the Toyo AT3 I ran last winter, the increased ice performance is noticeable. They aren't close to blizzak performance, but at a tax in price of $180.25 per tire with studs vs the blizzak LT at $396 per tire, I can live with that. Living in atlantic Canada, I've had the chance to test these in basically every condition imaginable, and while they aren't winning any awards, I'm also not dead and haven't crashed. I've even taken them into some mild offroading to take my dog into a quarry she loves to play in and they held up well. After 5000km they haven't worn noticeably and aside from 2 studs I ripped out climbing some rocks offroad, they haven't had any stud retention issues whatsoever. If you want a top of the line tire, this isn't it, but they do well enough for the cost that you can do much worse (and trust me, I've seen much worse winter tires for more money)
I think the tires are great. Great traction especially in the snow. I would buy them again
I had unfortunately inherited these death trap tyres (Antares 68) when I brought my car, Ford C Max. I have been driving for 26 years and I have never feared for my life until I drove on these.
You feel like the car is not connecting to the road and at any point you will loose control. Driving on the dry is pretty scary especially on corners but when it rains it’s a whole new story. At 35-40 miles per hour you are in constant fear of spinning out of control, it felt like an ice ring, very hard to keep under control and 0 grip in wet weather.
Do not be tempted by cheap price, you get what you pay for, invest in better well named tyres. I changed mine straight away.
In my opinion they should be removed and chucked in the skip never to be sold again. Avoid at all costs!
