Matador MP 46 Hectorra 2

I have bought these tyres before 15 days for 400€. So with few km on my car I could say that tyres are quite enough and very good grip in wet and of cource in dry conditions. Very comfartable to. After 30.000 more reliable opinion.

Great Tyre, was tough to decide wheather or not to move from directional to these but I am certainly converted now. Prob won't move from these for a long time. Better than Federal, Nangkahn, Sunny's, budget range tyres. Matador are made by continental.
BUY BUY BUY..

Having read all there is to read about these tyres I decided to give them a go and I can not rate them highly enough they are fantastic value for money. I suffered with high road noise with the previos dunlop tyres and this has improved greatly. They have good grip in all conditions better than the Dunlops and the previous set which were Bridgestone. They are made by continental as a budget brand but they are excellent tyres.

These are very good tyres. I fitted 4 to an S3.

I have the extra load (XL) version because of the relative weight of the Audi, and together with such a low profile (40) it helps to keep the side-wall rigid under hard cornering.

The tyres themselves I purchased online for about £75 each and I was chuffed with how they looked (?) I know that's meaningless but they look and feel like a quality product. Matador is owned by Continental and it shows in the quality of construction.

My reasoning for choosing this tyre was that because the car was made in 2002 it wasn't worth spending extra on the very best tyres available today (i.e. conti SC) as it wasn't designed with them in mind. This is a mid to high range tyre and really fits the characteristics of the car, there isn't much more grip to be had, any more and on-road handling would simply become unprogressive and snappy at the limit.

Performance wise I can't fault much, the new tyres replaced well worn Yokohama Parada 2's and Pirelli P Zeros, the Yokohamas gave a little more grip in very hot conditions but were dangerous in the wet. I'm glad I chose this tyre.

They are basically an unbranded continental tyre. Made in the same factory, same design, construction, tread pattern, materials etc, the only difference being the laminate on the side bears a different name. Cant rate them enough as a budget alternative, shop around and get a bargain £60 each fitted for 205/55/16

A recommendation from STS Tyre Pros, after requiring two tyres on the rear. Well priced and designed tyres that instantly made a difference.
Low noise and high comfort, should be perfect for the style of driving I do, motorway and A road cruising. Should hold up to sporting blasts too.
Will be replacing the Bridgestones on the front with these too!

Very happy with these. Have never thought of buying budget tyres, were brought from STS tyres who told me that they were produced by continental, which checks out, a real real good buy.

Top draw tyres on a budget price

What a complete result, just brought four of these and can only say what a top top tyre, i was told by the fitter they are made by continental as a mid range budget tyre using basically all of conti's own materials and this turns out to be true, they grip in the wet and dry superbly they are silent and compare against the top brands, i can not recommend these enough.

Just had four of these tyres fitted to my Volvo V70 2.4 D5 185. They have replaced the Pirelli PZero's that were fitted when I purchased the car from a main dealer. I must say I am extremely impressed as these, compared to other brands, were a lot cheaper. (Fully fitted ?90 each.) I was a little apprehensive with going for a cheaper tyre but was reassured by the fitter when he told me that these are a sister company of Continental Tyres and use the same silicon and tech as they do. They are much quiter than the PZero, as well as smoother, and find that I have more grip than the Pirelli could give me. I recommend these tyres if you are on a budget.
