Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
61/100From 1 owner review analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
68/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

The Antares GRIP 60 ice is viewed as a highly capable budget-friendly winter tire that offers impressive value for its price point. While it does not match the premium performance levels of top-tier brands like Bridgestone, it provides a noticeable improvement in ice traction over all-terrain alternatives, making it a practical choice for cost-conscious drivers in harsh winter climates.
Pros
- Exceptional price-to-performance ratio
- Noticeable improvement in ice traction compared to all-terrain tires
- Effective performance in varied, severe winter conditions
- Studdable design enhances grip on icy surfaces
Cons
- Performance falls short of premium winter tire benchmarks like the Blizzak
- Limited long-term durability data compared to established market leaders
Worth knowing
- Users transitioning from all-terrain tires (such as the Toyo AT3) report a significant upgrade in winter-specific safety.
