Review on Matador MPS 125 Variant All Weather 195/75 R16 107 by Adam Domaski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

I bought this model for a Gazelle car with a long base. Tire size 195/75R16C. As I said, I liked the cords, they are very thick and tough, which inspires confidence. The only thing is that the installation on regular, Gazelle disks took place rather tightly. I just balanced it with a bang - on one wheel, immediately after installation, putting it on the balancing machine, it showed 0 to 0 ! The tire fitters were very surprised, and as a result, one wheel stands even without balancing weights, and the other wheels, too, can be said to be ideal in terms of balancing. As for their all-season quality - YES, they are really all-season tires that perform well both on water and on winter roads during snowfall. In general, driving in winter is quite comfortable. The tires are quite soft, the ride is comfortable, swallows bumps very well. The noise is absolute, I can't hear it. It is important that the tires almost do not "flatten". As for handling - here I noticed that on the tires previously installed in front (although they were 205 / 75R16 in size), the car steered more "clearly", it went like on rails. The Matador tires, on the other hand, have little yaw on the road, and because of this, you get less pleasure from steering. But I think it's more a design feature of my car and camber angles than a tire fault. In general, I haven’t skated much on this rubber yet, and it’s too early to judge wear resistance. Therefore, I will try to unsubscribe after about 50 thousand kilometers. And so the tires left mostly positive impressions. And of all the all-season that the market offers, these tires are unrivaled.

Pros
  • VERY durable cords, softness, all-weather.
Cons
  • Price. I would like for the size 195 / 75R16, the price tag is at least 1000 lower. I also noticed that on the previously installed tires from the Korean manufacturer, the “taxiing” was a little better and more distinct.
