OVERVIEW

The Antares SMT A7 is an all terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Antares offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.

The tire ensures first-rate all terrain performance. The tread design features large, staggered tread blocks, wide grooves, an open shoulder pattern and a detailed upper sidewall design that work together to guarantee grip both on- and off-road. In this manner, the tire is capable of conquering all soft, loose and uneven terrain surfaces with ease. They firmly grip the road surface and provide forward motion even in deeper mud and loose dirt. The tread's wide grooves and staggered tread blocks maintain a clean footprint. They eliminate mud and snow and eject rocks stuck between the tread elements. In this manner, the tire is never blocked from its contact with the road surface and it guarantees an exceptional off-road performance.

The model offers excellent durability. Its special damage resistance and enhanced load capability make its performance safer. The durable, chip resistant tire compound avoids off-road damage by preventing harm to the casing and tread area. The tire's self-cleaning capability manages to prevent stone retention by ejecting rocks stuck in the tread grooves. Furthermore, the tire's full steel belt construction ensures a safer, damage-free performance. The strengthened internal structure also avoids the deformation of the optimal tire shape. As the tire's optimized shape is maintained under the driving and load pressure affecting the model, the tire is capable of carrying and withstanding heavier loads with ease.

The symmetric tread pattern design and all season tire compound improve the all weather traction. The symmetric tread features a detailed siping pattern, individual tread blocks and wide grooves that firmly grip the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather. The siping detail enhances the number of biting edges to ensure the tire's superb ice and snow gripping capability. The all season tire compound, on the other hand, keeps the tire's flexible traction throughout the year, including in colder temperature winter weather. The wide circumferential grooves and open shoulder design upgrade the tire's hydroplaning resistance. This design disperses water and slush from below the tire's footprint to promote a secure performance.

The tire is easily controlled both on- and off-road. The tread design's continuous center tread block sequence and individual shoulder tread blocks boost the model's steering responsiveness, driving stability and cornering capability in all weather. They keep the tire's road contact at all times and closely follow the road and terrain surface. This upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands and stabilizes the structure against the driving and load pressure affecting the model. The shoulder tread blocks enhance the cornering capability. They provide additional biting edges that firmly grip the surface during cornering and maneuvering to guarantee a safer performing capability and better controllability.

The SMT A7 offers a lengthened usability. The tire features a deeper tread design and a durable tire compound, which slows the tread wear rate down. The symmetric tread design manages to ensure an even tread wear across the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking extend the tread life and the tire's usability by preventing the formation of irregular tread wear formations. The elongated tread wear rate and guaranteed even wear promote a longer lasting tread life and usability.
