Excellent product, the best quality.

It has been on my to-do list for a very long time to write up this review. C2022 regarding the acquisition itself (initial impressions were, of course, the car was not recognizable by the smoothness of the movement, there was no such smoothness of movement at different speeds!) And now, toward the end of May in the year 2022... They were replaced in the middle of July in 2022. Having a total mileage of fifty t. Km.
In my particular instance, I acquired tires of the following size and with the following characteristics: Matador Hectorra 3 245/45 R18 100 Y XL FR Made in Rumania price - 7048. per piece The operation was codenamed "Hong Kong and North-West."

There were no evaluations available at the time, and the only person who had ridden a Matador in the winter was a former coworker of mine. When I asked him how riding a Matador was, he claimed that everything was OK. I made the decision to try something new and purchased a summer one. and I don't feel like I wasted my time doing it!)
Although some of the evaluations claim that Matador Hectorra 3 loses its effectiveness quite rapidly, I would not agree with that assessment. On this rubber, you don't want to be driving too quickly or breaking too sharply, although it does depend on how quickly you are moving and how hard you are stopping. This tire would not be suitable for such a ride. And it depends quite a bit on wear to determine how much "fresh rubber" is affected; in my instance, from the date of manufacture 0516, also known as Week 5, 16, until the point of installation by me at the end of May 2022, a total of four months have elapsed. The catchphrase that comes to mind is "buy fresh tires"!)
You cannot recommend this rubber to anyone who need a "hard" rubber for hard starting and hard stopping because it is too soft. You must purchase either Bridgestone or Danlop tires. And if you have to choose between Matador and Nokia, go with the Hectorra 3 from Matador. Matador will be more fascinating than Nokia, specifically in terms of its ability to perform well in wet conditions and at high speeds.

Pros

Regarding the positive aspects of this tire, I would like to point out that the Matador Hectorra 3 is, in my opinion, the greatest tire to have when driving in the rain, a deluge, through puddles, or in a rut. This tire rides completely differently at this speed than, for example, the Bridgestone potenza re050a does, and it holds the road less well. The behavior of this tire in such weather is extremely predictable, and it can be driven into and out of puddles with a high degree of confidence. There is no aqua planning. (and the difference in cost is two times as much) It is as if it were winter, when the temperature is plus 5 degrees and there is snow in the puddles, and you are riding through the puddles on nice studded tires, which is another way of saying that the road is holding up at plus 5 degrees. I would also want to say that although I did not drive very much on this rubber when the temperature was below zero, it grips the road quite well! Regarding the sidewall, in my tire's case, the sidewall was reinforced with XL FR; yet, in comparison to the Bridgestone potenza re050a, I would say the sidewall is comparable to what is considered to be the standard sidewall. Second, the Hectorra 3 has the smoothest and most comfortable ride of any tire I've ever ridden on. I didn't have such an easy time maintaining control!) The car just felt like it started to float along the road, in the good sense of the word, which is strong evidence that we are discussing asphalt and not gravel roads. At first, I just didn't recognize the car. I didn't believe that the rubber would affect the behavior of the car so much. I didn't think that the rubber would change the behavior of the automobile. Of course, the comparison will mostly be made with what came before it, which is the Bridgestone potenza re050a and NOT the Runflat. Which tire is it most similar to? - Of course, this is Continental, but Matador will be noticeably more gentle. This rubber was put on me in 2022 by a person who shared the exact same perspective as the aforementioned individual, namely that "the tire itself is very soft." The third is staying in the same old routine. Holds up great. The cost of 2022 comes in at number four. Bridgestone, Nokia, Matador, and Barum were among brands that I took into consideration before purchasing a Matador Hectorra 3 100 Y XL FR. At that time, the Matador Hectorra 3 245/45 R18 100 Y XL FR was priced per piece. I did not give any thought to tires manufactured in China or Korea. 7048 rub. Bridgestone potenza re050a - 15,000. The price of a Nokia or Barum is around 8500.

Cons

The fact that you have to brake more heavily on wet roads is one of the drawbacks, however your opinion on this matter may vary. Consider the Bridgestone potenza re050a as a comparison. That's all there is to say about the drawbacks! Concerning the noise, in my experience, the tire's tread was quieter when it was brand new than the Bridgestone's.
