Tyre reviews Matador MP-50 Sibir Ice. Page 1 139

I survived the winter of 16-17 by installing new ones. Overall, I'm satisfied with the tires. I bought 205/65 R15, the tread pattern is different from what is shown on the website, it reminds me of the Gislaved Nf3. Winter was generous with snow and ice, alternating with thaws. Handling is predictable on any surface. Never got stuck in an uncleaned courtyard, it's like a tank. During break-in, it's noisy

When buying, I had doubts, but they quickly dissipated. On my previous car (Chevrolet Niva) winter tire was Nortman-4 215/65/16, MP-50 Sibir Ice SUV outperforms it many times over. In general, I'm satisfied as a elephant))). Great tire for its price.

Two years ago, I had to purchase winter tires studded, when buying a car, I took the Michelin IX-3 set, everything would be fine, after two winters, there was not a single stud left on the front wheels - they simply broke, I replaced them with rear ones - another two winters and the same picture. I decided to take something cheaper and I did not regret it - excellent stability, they perfectly hold the road, they exit well from snow - only positive emotions,

I'm looking forward to a second winter with these tyres. The first one was great, excellent braking on snow, no slipping. Plus, in my opinion, the tyres are quite quiet. And they're made in Germany, which, for me, is always a guarantee of quality and comfort.

No such a cheap and good tire exists. No noise, no wear, not bad on snow, everything else is weak. Cheap studs do not last long, therefore big losses occur. The tire’s tread is hard because it is wear-resistant (on a hard, solid, slippery surface, nothing helps). I deflated the tire under two studs on one wheel. Do not instill confidence. SUCK!!!

Spent a season driving in Moscow. All studs in place. Noisy above 80 km/h. Pulls on snow, average on ice.

I've driven on those tyres for three winters (235/70/16). Good tyre, they hold the car well if you drive calmly, which I believe many people do in the winter. None popped out after the first winter and after the third winter there are a sufficient amount popped out.

Very stiff sidewall. The mechanic had a real hard time putting it on the rim and one of the tires' sidewall eventually burst, forcing the purchase of a new tire. Otherwise, the price-quality is quite good.

They're worth it.

I liked the traction on ice and snow. Course stability is excellent. Noisy. Price-quality ratio is excellent.
