Tyre reviews Matador MPS-500 Sibir Ice Van. Page 2 110

Just excellent tires, you can take them and not doubt. The only minus is the price. But looking at the overall prices, you just have to accept them and that's it. They hold great, grip like a tank, and you can start moving up any hill without problems. Of course, as soon as you start driving aggressively, the tires become unpredictable, and they shouldn't be expected to handle such behavior at high speeds. You can hear the studs on asphalt, but it's not critical. I've driven on them for two winters (approximately 60-70 thousand km per winter) and then drove on them in the summer with the studs still on. I think some of the tires have gone up to 200 thousand km. I definitely recommend them.

In city driving below 60km/h, I wouldn't even notice it, but on the highway the noise is slightly present, but doesn't cause any discomfort. In braking at -25 and below on slippery asphalt, I think it's in need of additional studs. In any other weather conditions everything is great and predictable. The price of the tires is justified.

Everything's great, the tires were a hit. Worked great in the snow and had to drive with them in the summer - worn out on the front wheels. Load the car up to 3 tons and they still held up.

Installed on a cargo truck, very comfortable tire, perfectly balanced, strong sidewall, holds confidently up to 700 kg load, cracks and potholes are not a problem.

Picked up the Niva 5 tyres, performed well in forest terrain. Quality for price is good, but on long drives noisy, but Niva's axles and transfer case are much noisier.

Good quality tire. Justifies its price.

To All, I am pleased with the tires. Details:

1. I keep the tire pressure at around 1.6-1.8 bar. The ride is comfortable and the car drives smoothly. Perhaps this is why it veers outward when driving on snow, but only slightly.

2. The tires harden at temperatures below 25 degrees Celsius. At present, it is -47 degrees Celsius, and after five minutes of driving, you're actually driving on

Actually it behaves as expected. On shallow powdery snow - fine, on ice up a mountain - three stars, on asphalt with ice on the track - fine (if you don't drive a hundred-plus, and Gazelles are not needed). On bare ice - rides terribly, absolutely. As for the noise level - it's difficult to say, but the Gazelle is louder. Balance - 40 grams on average on new tires. In general, an average tire, in terms of the

The tire is good. Not too hard, just right. It's a bit noisy at speeds between 70 and 100 km/h, but not critical. The tread is high. I'll write another review after winter.

Good Russian-made tires are on the microbus. I'm satisfied with the tires. Below are the ratings of the characteristics based on my driving experience on a five-point scale.
