Tyre reviews Matador MP-21. Page 1 18

Rode it a bit, basically just installed it, but impressions compared to Cordiant are only positive - doesn't pull in any direction, average noise level (my noise, to be honest), handling is quite normal. After the purchase, came across a few negative reviews about this tire, saying it doesn't balance, so I didn't part with the tire fitter during balancing, and after pretty uneven discs, only one wheel required a 50-gram counterweight, the others were satisfied with

It really understeers bad. In the wet, it's tolerable, doesn't balloon, although it slows like on ice. On dry roads, it's no better than the other tire, not noisy, impact-resistant, hit some real potholes, thought the wheel was going to come off, but no. Overall, nothing to complain about. At 140-150 km/h the ride is normal and predictable.

I bought this tire because the old set of summer tires was worn out, and on the way to Ufa one of them blew out, my friend (he was on the road then) bought specifically the Matador MR-21 - 1pc, and when I found out about this, I simply didn't have the words to "praise" this choice, as I was planning to buy Nokian... had to buy 3 more MR-21, at a price of 510

I've never had worse tires, very poorly balanced, very strange tread pattern, noisy. After a month of use, two wheels went flat and on low speed, I started to feel the judder of the steering wheel. In general, I had to sell almost new tires for pennies. Don't buy Matador, it's complete rubbish, better to spend a bit more and buy Korean or Chinese tires.

I went on a summer trip, bought winter tires as well, at a price: they make no noise and drive as they should! I’m renting winter tires only on the third season, 80% studs are still in place. 11000 km new set and everything will be fine again! I highly recommend!
