Matador MP 47 Hectorra 3 205/55 R16 91H

The Slovak brand Matador has gained the widest popularity among the many subsidiaries of the German tyre concern Continental AG. The secret of popularity lies in the balance of price and driving characteristics of the brand's products.

For every taste

The mid-range tyre Matador MP 47 Hectorra 3 is available in fifty different sizes — from R13 to R21. Accordingly, it will not be difficult to choose the required tyre size for your needs. Particular attention in the design of the model is paid to safety on wet roads: water is drained from the contact patch through four deep longitudinal channels penetrating the asymmetric tread pattern along. Almost instantaneous hydroevacuation significantly reduces the risk of experiencing the effect of hydroplaning on your own skin when overcoming water obstacles.

Confidence on the road

The central ribs of the tread feature increased stiffness, which provides improved transmission of traction and braking forces, as well as minimizing rolling resistance. And complicity in more confident cornering is provided by wide shoulder areas dotted with numerous blocks. The pressure on the contact patch is distributed evenly, which prevents premature wear of individual tread elements.

wear indicator

In all copies of the tyre, regardless of the size, there is an indication of tread wear, which is located in the drainage circumferential channels at a height of 3 mm. When this mark is reached, the tyre must be replaced. Claims to the model are presented in relation to thinned sidewalls, which increases the risk of side cuts and tyre noise. However, given the affordable cost of the Matador MP 47 Hectorra 3, you can safely turn a blind eye to the aforementioned disadvantages.
