Matador Hectorra 5 215/55 R17 98Y

The successor to the popular Matador MP47 Hectorra 3, released ahead of the 2023 summer season. The Slovakian Matador brand is one of the most significant subsidiaries of the leading tire company Continental. The rubber in question received an optimized tread pattern with an emphasis on several important parameters: reliable “wet” grip, low rolling resistance, long service life, low noise and a high level of driving comfort.

The central ridge of the tire tread is formed by a trio of longitudinal stiffening ribs with notches to improve traction properties and increase drainage efficiency. Volumetric longitudinal hydraulic evacuation channels are responsible for counteracting aquaplaning. Matador Hectorra 5 215/55 R17 98Y demonstrates stability in maintaining directional stability in a straight-line trajectory, responsively responds to steering commands when making turns and active maneuvering, and reduces fuel consumption of the vehicle. The model was produced for a wide range of passenger cars.
