Antares Tires Canada
Antares is a value positioned tire brand with one of the broadest lineups in its price tier — covering all season touring, 3PMSF all weather, high performance and UHP, EV optimized, all terrain, mud terrain and winter tires for passenger cars, crossovers, SUVs and light trucks. We map every Antares family to real driving needs so Ontario and Quebec shoppers can find the right model without overpaying for a name.
Why Antares Tires Belong on Your Shortlist
Antares tires are built around a clear value proposition: modern compound technology, silica infused rubber and computer optimized tread designs at a price point well below the established Tier 1 brands. The lineup is broader than most drivers expect from a value brand — Antares covers everything from EV specific all season performance tires to studdable ice tires to 3PMS certified all weather tires, which means shoppers can source a purpose built model rather than compromising on a generic budget option.
For Ontario and Quebec drivers specifically, the most relevant Antares models are the Polymax 4S (3PMSF all weather for year-round single-set use), the Grip 20 and Grip 60 Ice (studless and studdable winter), and the Goliath AT (3PMSF all terrain for trucks and SUVs). These models directly address the severe snow reality of Canadian winters at a price that makes the Antares lineup worth comparing even against brands with more marketing presence.

The Antares Tire Families — What Each One Does
Antares covers six distinct categories. Understanding which family applies to your vehicle and driving situation prevents the most common budget tire mistake: buying the wrong category because it was the cheapest result in a size search.

How to Filter the Right Antares Tire
- Start with category: all season touring, all weather 3PMSF, performance, EV, all terrain, winter. Antares has a purpose built model for each — do not default to the cheapest result in your size without confirming it matches your actual use case and season.
- For Ontario and Quebec winters, confirm the 3PMSF symbol is present if you want year round capability on one set (Polymax 4S, Goliath AT). Standard Antares all season models carry M+S only and are not severe snow certified. All four Antares winter tires (Grip 20, Grip 60 Ice, Grip WP, Lumi 001) carry 3PMSF and qualify for Quebec’s December 1 legal requirement.
- The Blitzk RS is a summer tire. It must not be driven below 7°C — the compound hardens rapidly in cold, losing grip on Ontario and Quebec autumn and spring roads. Plan a seasonal swap to a winter or all weather tire before temperatures drop.
- For EVs and hybrids, the Ingens EV is the correct model — not the Ingens A1 or Majoris series. The Ingens EV is specifically engineered for EV weight, torque output and rolling resistance demands. Confirm that your size is available before ordering.
- Confirm load index, speed rating and XL designation before ordering, especially for SUVs, crossovers, light trucks and EVs where the standard passenger rating may be insufficient for the vehicle’s weight and load requirements.

Antares Tires FAQ
Are Antares tires good quality for Canadian driving?
Antares tires are a value tier brand, which means the correct frame for evaluating them is not “do they match Michelin?” but “do they deliver the right capability for the price?” The answer is yes for the right models and use cases. Antares uses silica infused compounds, asymmetric and directional tread designs, and in several models — Polymax 4S, Goliath AT, all four winter tires — carries the 3PMSF severe snow certification that is the meaningful Canadian winter standard. Where Antares falls short of Tier 1 brands is typically in tread life longevity, wet braking margins and ride refinement at the limit. For Ontario and Quebec drivers who prioritize cost of ownership over benchmark performance, the right Antares model for the right use case is a reasonable and honest choice.
Which Antares tire is best for Ontario and Quebec winter driving?
For drivers who want a year round single set with winter capability, the Polymax 4S (all weather, 3PMSF) is the correct choice for passenger cars and crossovers, and the Goliath AT (all terrain, 3PMSF) for trucks and SUVs. For drivers who want a dedicated seasonal winter tire, Antares offers four options: the Grip 20 (studless, broadest size range, best everyday value), the Grip 60 Ice (studdable for severe ice, Northern Ontario and rural Quebec use), the Grip WP (studless with sport asymmetric tread and quieter ride for performance cars and crossovers) and the Lumi 001 (newer directional design with V-groove snow channeling). All four are 3PMSF rated and comply with Quebec’s December 1 to March 15 winter tire law. Ontario drivers benefit from switching at or below 7°C ambient temperature regardless of calendar date.
What is the difference between the Antares Grip 20 and the Grip 60 Ice?
Both are dedicated winter tires with 3PMSF ratings, but they serve different levels of winter severity. The Grip 20 is a studless winter tire — the correct everyday choice for most Ontario and Quebec drivers facing regular snow, slush and cold weather wet roads. It uses a directional herringbone tread with dense siping for forward and lateral grip on packed snow and cold wet pavement. The Grip 60 Ice is a studdable winter tire designed for drivers who face glare ice regularly — Northern Ontario rural roads, Quebec City winters, backcountry ice conditions — where the additional bite of metal studs in the contact patch is the difference that matters. Even without studs installed, the Grip 60 Ice is an effective winter tire; with studs, it becomes significantly more capable on hard blue ice. Ontario permits studded tires from October 1 to April 30; Quebec permits them from October 15 to May 1.
Is the Antares Polymax 4S a good alternative to the Michelin CrossClimate2 or General AltiMAX 365 AW?
The Polymax 4S competes in the same all weather 3PMSF category as the CrossClimate2 and AltiMAX 365 AW, at a significantly lower price. In wet braking, dry handling and tread life longevity, the CrossClimate2 is the benchmark and the Polymax 4S will not match it — Michelin’s EverTread compound and thermal adaptive silica are genuinely superior technologies. The AltiMAX 365 AW sits between them on both price and performance. For Ontario and Quebec drivers who want 3PMSF year round capability as the primary filter and price as the secondary filter, the Polymax 4S delivers the certification at the lowest available price. For drivers who prioritize wet braking and snow confidence margins, the AltiMAX 365 AW or CrossClimate2 are worth the additional cost. The correct answer depends on budget and driving environment: urban GTA commuting favours the value case; highway driving at sustained speeds in winter conditions favours the premium compound.
Does Antares make a tire for electric vehicles?
Yes — the Ingens EV is Antares’ dedicated electric vehicle and hybrid all season tire. It is specifically engineered for three EV specific challenges that a generic all season tire is not optimized for: the higher torque output of electric motors (reinforced casing for lateral load during acceleration), the increased vehicle weight of EV battery packs (higher load ratings), and the importance of rolling resistance for range (low rolling resistance compound). It also uses noise reduction pitch sequencing, which matters more in an EV cabin where road noise is more audible than in a combustion vehicle with engine and exhaust noise. Available in 16 to 19 inch sizes covering popular EV and hybrid fitments. For EV owners who want a purpose built tire rather than a repurposed passenger tire, the Ingens EV is the correct Antares choice.
How do I find the right Antares tire size?
Use our tire fitment tool on the homepage or any shop page. Alternatively, read the size on your current tire sidewall (for example, 205/55R16 or 265/70R17) or check the vehicle door placard, then search XYZTires.com by width, profile and diameter. After finding matching Antares results, confirm the load index, speed rating and XL designation before ordering. For EVs and heavier SUVs, pay particular attention to the load index — these vehicles often require a higher rating than the standard passenger fitment in that size.
Does XYZTires.com ship Antares tires free?
XYZTires.com offers fast free shipping across Ontario and Quebec on all tire orders, including Antares winter tires, all terrain tires and passenger car fitments. Inventory changes with seasonal demand, so the brand and size filters are the best way to confirm current Antares availability and pricing in your specific model and size.
