Technical information
Focus: Standard
The largest and best-selling category, and Matador MP47 HECTORRA 3 belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

What owners say
They just don't perform well when braking in the wet.
Its an average budget tyre. It has an expected and slightly below average level of wet grip and dry grip. It wears as expected for a budge tyre too. I will go back to a hankook ventus s3 after this cost cutting and mildly disappointing experience.
Bought these 3 years ago and yeah I probably have to do a geometery on my car but I can see very excessive wear on the outside while there is absolutely no wear on my winter Nokian tyres. Also those Michelins I had before these Matadors lasted 9 years with almost no wear at all, only that the rubber started to crack already.
I should mention that my Matador tyres were made in Portugal.
Just don't save the money so hard, you won't save them anyway. Even though those made somewhere else than Portugal might be a better quality.
I think these are the best tyres I have had soo far.
They are really good in wet conditions even cornering and setting off the grip is really good.
And even better in the dry.
I would buy these tyres again.
Probably the worst tyres I ever had, barely grips in the dry and even worse in the rain.
