Tyre reviews Matador MP-47 Hectorra 3. Page 7 300

After watching multiple YouTube videos and reading numerous articles online, I made my choice on these tires and was pleasantly surprised. Handling and braking in the rain are good, don't even get me started on dry asphalt. I was very pleased with the low noise level of these tires. Produced in France, not Russia.

I have a Mercedes ML (W 164) AMG (510 HP/ torque) and I've got a good, affordable tire - Michelin Pilot Sport 4, production Portugal (R 21). There's no feeling of discomfort, the tire is fully satisfactory. Good stability on dry and wet roads, no noise disturbance. It's been already 3 spring/summer seasons (I don't drive much). Now it's time to change the tire on my other car (in the spring

Hello everyone. I bought Matador Hectorra 3 due to a limited budget and time constraints (a 2,000 km trip was upcoming, my old Yokohama was worn down to nothing, I wanted the Three Angels, but they were nowhere to be found). The results of the tests are as follows:

1) On a dry road with aggressive driving: normal. I tried up to 170 km/h and it handled well, didn't understeer. Braking was decent,

I took this tire on trial in the middle of summer, as I had a puncture with Michelin (side cut). The price of 2470 roubles in the season was democratic. 195/65/15T. Noise, but the tire is soft, “bites” into every pebble on the asphalt. In sharp turns, “dry”, as it used to, I stopped skidding. I know, I should have bought a complete set to get even wear and not

Soft, non-sport, but comfortable. Minimal wear.

Handles the road in any situation, and brakes just as well. I'm thoroughly impressed with this tire. I'm also checking out the winter version from Matador.

Bought for summer after Yokohama AD-2.
This one is better in all ways and above all quieter. Didn't feel any difference from the winter braking disc in terms of acoustic comfort.
Read about aquaplaning issues, but didn't notice any. I think it's even better than Yokohama. True, didn't drive it on 200m puddles. Everything else in the budget segment is simply excellent.

The tire is good but has defects - typically the geometry is disrupted. This is despite being made in Germany!

I bought 2 last season and at first there were signs of disrupted geometry (which I only later understood), after 5,000 km they started to settle down and were fine - so it's good.

I bought 2 this season - a complete disaster! Necessarily because of the "curvature" there is strong vibration while driving, and during braking

Good tyre for the money. A bit noisy, a bit slippery. Performs well on both asphalt and gravel. Not designed for extreme driving. Doesn't claim to be. In normal driving conditions, it meets expectations 100%. A great choice in this price segment. Recommended.

I'm speechless, it's all just drool. Everything is perfectly aligned for the wear after 1500 km and the paint lines can still be seen, whereas in Moldova it's already +25. Weak sidewalls but the softness is just like on winter tires, I try not to rub against the curb and everything is fine, I took a few potholes but it's all super, there are no bulges. I'm as happy as a bear!
