Review on Matador MP 47 Hectorra 3 185/65 R14 86T summer by Wiktor Uhlig ᠌

Pros: I just installed it, drove 300 km on them, I share my first impressions . at the end of the season I will add and correct the review. I went before on Yokohama C drive 2 in the amount of 195/50 r15. I liked its sportiness, protective sides, clarity of control and mileage (55 thousand km), not a single hernia or breakdown, although I caught nails more than once and repaired it with a tourniquet. But after 55 thousand km. nevertheless, the hernia got out, but the tires had already served, we must pay tribute to them . The same ones are no longer sold, I was looking for similar ones, but I bought a Matador :) I had to go, there was no time to choose especially. According to reviews, I read and liked that many write about increased mileage and good handling, especially in the rain, and it rains in Hong Kong for half a year) I put it on the front axle for now. So, I tell you what difference I felt right away and what I liked. 1) Attracted by the price, one of the most inexpensive tires. 2) immediately noticed that it was much quieter, the rubber is almost inaudible! And really soft . I used to get high on the clarity and sharpness of control - I have a dynamic driving style, right there the rubber reacts very smoothly to all steering movements, a little unusual, not very informative control, as for me . but 80% of drivers won't even notice it. Joints and bumps are much softer, blows to the steering wheel and suspension are not transmitted as before, which means the suspension will last a little longer :) So - soft, quiet. 3) Good in the rain and on dry pavement - and braking and start and taxiing. 4) The tread pattern is attractive and drains water well - I flew into a huge puddle at 120 km / h in a downpour and no aquaplaning, unlike the car in front, which I started to drag, I had to brake sharply so as not to bite, I thought I was pulling, because in puddles it’s better not to slow down like that, and the rubber braked perfectly from such a speed without losing control and allowed me to rebuild, go around the car in front, which pleasantly surprised me. So far, there is nothing more to say . I will add before winter. October has come. Read "disadvantages". Mileage 8 thousand km. Cons below: 1) There is no protective edge for discs in size 195/50 r15, although the seller said that there is. They say rubber is stronger and more resistant to hernias . and discs protect from damage. And the rubber looks sportier and more attractive with a side, especially in a low profile. 2) According to the car service master, the first pit and tires to be thrown out . We'll see . but I wouldn't want to . the previous ones worked 55 thousand without hernias and saw a bunch of pits . but that was a yoka . Filipino like . 3) The minus for me is the worse response to taxiing than my ex . (rubber :) but this is more likely not a minus, but a feature, because. she is softer. 4) Production 2022 does not inspire confidence, although they say that this is Production Continental, only a 2022 brand . Let's see how it will show itself over time . 5) It's funny, but I bought tires from the future . I bought it in May, and the date of manufacture is 08.22. :) a bit strange) but sometimes in the bakery I bought tomorrow's bread))))) with the baking date of the next day on the package, so it's okay) it's 2022 :) October has come. 8 thousand km mileage. Half of the tread has worn off. There is no wear resistance. And what is the worst! if you want to crash the car and crash yourself, buy this matador. Rubber full of ! For half a year they constantly lowered . constantly pumped up, watched. It never happened. The s were fine. When the cold started in October at night, the wheels dropped to 1.9 atm. , I went into a turn at a very small angle of 15 degrees at a speed of 60 km / h and my right tire was torn off the disk ! Disembled on the go! The car went into an uncontrollable skid into the center of the turn and I flew over the curb and the pedestrian sidewalk and a ditch . the suspension was broken, the bumper was torn off, the thresholds were dented . a repair of 30 k + purchase of new tires! It was lucky that there were no pawns and a pillar. Never buy this rubber if you want to live! I've been driving for 18 years and this has never happened! Always drove aggressively and quickly. Rubber for pensioners and for those who drive a maximum of 30 km / h and creeps into turns.
