Tyre reviews Torero MP-72. Page 4 42

In the summer, I replaced the tires on my Kia Sorento. The car is quite large, so when choosing, I focused on strength and reliable traction - I wanted to feel confident both on the highway and on dirt roads. As a result, I stopped at the Torero MP-72 model.

On paved roads, the tires show stable work. On the highway, the car drives smoothly, does not require constant course correction. Even at high speed, the behavior is predictable, the steering wheel remains stable.

There are also no problems on dirt roads: the car does not skid, confidently holds the trajectory. This is especially noticeable when accelerating and turning - there is no feeling of losing traction.

The cabin is comfortable: despite the quite large wheel size, the noise is minimal. Only on wet asphalt does a moderate hum appear, but it does not interfere with conversation or music listening.

Braking is smooth, without sharp jerks. When I press the pedal, the car slows down evenly, there is no feeling that it can skid.

The car is heavy, so I was looking for tires with a strength reserve. I decided that the MP-72 would be perfect for the Sorento. The first kilometers showed that the choice was correct — on the highway, the car confidently goes even with a full load. In the city, the wheels are soft, do not transmit shocks to the steering wheel.

On dirt and gravel, it pulls confidently, without slipping. The noise on the asphalt is average, which is quite expected. I noticed that acceleration has become a bit smoother, without slipping. Well, and according to the results of the season, wear is almost absent, which is pleasing.

Since it is essentially the same Matador MP-72, I can say that this tire unpleasantly surprised me with its weak wear resistance. Over two seasons, which is approximately 20,000 km of mileage (mostly asphalt and gravel - 98% of the mileage), 5 mm of the 10 mm tread has worn off, which is 50%. This is a lot, which means the tires will only last for about 3 seasons. Hardness measurements showed high results - approximately 75-77 units on the Shore scale. With such high hardness, wear is usually not significant, but on the contrary, it is likely due to the rubber compound. I bought the tire for 7,000 rubles in 2022, now it costs almost 10,000, I think it's very expensive for a tire that lasts only two seasons. As for the other parameters, the noise is moderate for AT, it grips well on sand and gravel, quickly gets clogged in mud like all AT tires, in general, nothing unusual. You can buy Cordiant AT with the same result for a lower price.
