Matador MP 59 Nordicca MS

Have run these tyres in the worst of last years winter in colchester! on wet or dry roads they were great, on the ice and compacted snow they were truly awesome. I was the only car running and making 4x4's look pathetic, climbed a 1 in 5 hill, stopped at the top and pulled away without a hint of a slip or skid. The tyre comes with a really thick rim protector which has saved my alloys on more than one occasion. well worth the money.

Excellent winter tyre(you don't get stucked), but you must be carefull on wet surfaces.

Brilliant. £240 set me up for winter driving in a VW Sharan. (Good ground clearance helped in the deep snow (15cm)). I can totally recomment these. During the recent snow in December 2010 I kept moving when the only other vehicles were 4X4. I even managed when it the snow became sheet ice and no other ordinary car could go... Seriously, there were at least 12 occasions when other cars failed to get up a hill and I just passed them... even a FreeLander and a Volvo Cross Country. Bring on the snow!

Great handling on dry surface, fuel economy, and very good traction on snow and ice. You must be carefull on wet surfaces (0.8 mm of water at 74 km/h...acvaplaning)

Excellent winter tyre, highly recommended for use in the Arctic North East of England.
