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!
