In order to replace the worn-out Barum Brilliantis 2 in the same dimension, I purchased for Kalina a new set of tires in the size of 185/60 R14. Pick either Matador or Kumho/Marshal as your partner. The lighter weight, unique tread pattern (the Koreans are already totally asphalt), and the affinity of the Matador and Barum brands (both brands belong to the Continental business) led me to make the decision to go with Matador. I didn't have any issues with Barum, and I assumed that Matador would be exactly the same, although having a different brand name. After the tire fitter had finished, I ran a few meters and immediately recognized that I had made a mistake. It's true that the new tires make a noticeable difference in the level of road noise, but what the heck is wrong with the steering wheel that it won't go back to zero? I inflated the tires to 2.4 atmospheres each, but other than that, not much has changed. The initial drive along the highway irritated me even more; traveling 70 kilometers in a single direction wore me out completely, and I had to constantly adjust my course in order to find a straight line. When I got back to my house, I made the decision to switch the positions of the wheels, moving the new ones to the back and the trusty old Barum to the front. On the other hand, as usual, there was insufficient time for this, and I resumed riding. And on the subsequent drive along the highway, I suddenly found myself thinking that I was just driving and not catching the automobile. This realization came to me as I was driving. After driving around 310 miles (500 kilometers), the tires mysteriously rolled in, and the overall performance of the car significantly improved. On the other hand, I stopped paying attention to how good the road surface was. Even the most poorly maintained asphalt and gravel roads won't force you to reduce your speed and won't annoy you with any kind of noise or shaking. The findings suggest that tires perform best on roads that are not overly smooth and with drivers who maintain a level of composure. It is advised that you download them at 0.2 to 0.3 atmospheres higher than what is recommended; this will not affect the level of comfort, but it will make it easier to steer, and it will reduce the likelihood that the tire will puncture the sidewall.
