Tyre reviews Matador MP-12 17

Significant wear

The tire was used for two seasons. Driving only in summer, late spring and early fall. With the first white flies, the tire was removed, washed and carefully stored. In the first season of operation, I was impressed by the quality of the car's grip on a flat wet road - there was no aquaplaning (even in puddles) at all. The wear in the first season was up to the wear of a thin longitudinal groove (on the driving

Just don't get it twisted

I took a set of Slovak Matador. The road holding is excellent, on puddles it hooks only at high speeds, the grip with the road is excellent. I've driven over 120,000 km on it and it's still like new. A couple of days after I bought this tire, my friend bought a Matador MR12, but already from St. Petersburg. The tire barely survived 50,000 km

Pros:

Average tire

After two seasons of operation in the summer period, wear is small, on dry road it holds perfectly, which cannot be said about water. But as soon as I swapped the front and rear wheels, problems started - vibration on the steering wheel that no balancing can help, it feels like I'm holding a jackhammer in my hands, not a steering wheel, I had to put everything back in place. As for noise, it also leaves much to be desired, regarding durability,

Average or below average

All my previous driving experience was on Michelin (50 thousand), so reading reviews about tires, I couldn't understand different negative statements like "noisy", "doesn't hold the road" - everything was OK. After switching to another car with Matador installed, I realized what "slipping on dry asphalt" and "aquaplaning at 80 km/h" and other negative moments mean. Next season I plan to change to something else.

Pros

ok

The tire is not bad in general!!!! The car holds the road quite well at 120 km/h in dry weather. From 120-160 - it's not comfortable! On a wet road, I wouldn't recommend driving over 100! As for off-road - it's just awful, I went hunting outside the city on wet grass and the wheels immediately lost air, not to mention the swamp... The noise from the wheels is average, because before that I drove on Michelin

poorly

I bought a used car with these tires, the wear was not significant. In my opinion, the tires have a very poor grip on dry roads, and on wet roads it's scary to accelerate the car, knowing it won't stop. I will change the tires at the first opportunity.

worth it
Installed on VAZ-2106 exactly Omsk set.

Good summer tires
Judging by your comments, it can be concluded that Omsk and Slovak are like heaven and earth. I have Omsk.

Price/Quality !!!
I like it, good tires for the money (bought for $50 per wheel)

Generally okay, but..
I've been buying these tires for years now, everything suits me except for the noise level..there is a little bit((
