I am satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

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.

Pros

1. The ride is comfortable; it's almost like riding on an air cushion. 2. Quiet; the rumble can scarcely be heard even on the noise strips, and the asphalt does not have the gritty sound that it normally does. 3. You are able to move off of the asphalt thanks to the tread pattern. 4. Low in weight, which translates to a quick acceleration and efficient use of gasoline.

Cons

1. Low directional stability, characterized by an unclear zero on the steering wheel and the requirement to taxi. 2. Wadded handling, often known as the backwards version of the hovercraft ride. The steering wheel is far too light, and one can only speculate as to what goes on beneath the wheels. Additionally, the responses to twisting the steering wheel are painfully slow. 3. Because the tread pattern is asymmetrical but appears to have a directional orientation, the left wheels give the impression that they are facing the wrong way. It's possible that this is why: 4. When traveling at speeds greater than 90 kilometers per hour, a hum can be heard coming from the gas discharge; this sound goes away when the vehicle slows down. 5. Tires' widths are noticeably narrower than those offered by competitors whose dimensions are the same as these tires'. 6. Because the size and weight of this product are less than those of its competitors, there may be a smaller resource available (although this is not guaranteed).
