Great tires on my RS best I've had on replaced cumos and handles great dry or wet and price is decent aswell for a tire made by conti

As soon as these tires went on my car I noticed a big change, they went on the rear replacing a pair of PZeros. The rear end of the car felt like it was disconnected from the front, turn into a corner and instead of the rear feeling solid it felt disconnected and very soft. These tires have very soft sidewalls that are great when it comes to potholes but nothing else. In the wet they wander around too much, they do not inspire confidence. So I put them on the front, which improved matters however they are still not very nice though. The grip seems ok in the dry, but I've lost all feeling with the road, they kill any and all feedback. Go spend a couple more quid and get KU39s. I can't wait for another ~8000miles to pass and get some better tires.

I had these tires put on my car approximately 6 months ago. I do quite alot of miles to and from work every day and these tires have been fantastic. I have done some extensive research into this brand since buying these tires as I have been so impressed. I found that matador is a slovakian company (south east of germany) which was taken over by continental around 2008 and since then have been introduced to continental tire technology.even a number of the continental tires are produced from the matador factory. You can tell just from looking at the tire that these are not a cheap chinese tire and are infact a mid range quality tire. I could go on but take it from someone who knows what they are talking about.... these are a quality tire at a great price.

Very happy with my MATADOR tires put on my st and wife's gti don't understand how anyone can fault them made by conti 95% as good and60% the price wil always put them on in the future anyone look at them quality easy to see 😀❤😀❤

nice tires and price IS ok.

These are horriffic tires, I read the company is owned 51% by Continental but they are not made by continental, if you want cheap tires then buy these but in all honesty they are utter crap. I was hopefull and skint so bought some, why any of these other bright sparks on here bought them I don't know but they clearly have a poor education and have never used good tires. Learn from my mistakes and save your money, Ryman will sell rubber bands that will make better tires than these.

Buy far a superior tire and made by continel I had a rep friend in tire industry for last 16 years he had them on his and his family's car so asked and he told me the best kept secret a good tire all round and great price for a quality mid range tire will be keeping them on my car for the future ..

This is the best budget brand used by me so far. Made by Continental in France. Very good grip on wet surfaces, on dry roads is excellent. For second time new pair of front tires was fitted on my Saab 9-3. Previous pair last 16 000 miles, which for my sporty stile of driving is more than enough. Rear tires are less than half way worn after these 16k miles. Simply cannot wish more from tire with such a good quality and priced usually around 65 pounds.
In the past used to use Barum as another brand from Continental family, but the difference is huge. Matador Hectorra2 is even better than more expensive Good Year tires used by me on my old Mazda 6.

After my Jaguar dealer wanted to replace the worn rear tires after 27,000 miles with jaguar 'approved' Dunlop Sports at £300 each, I started to look for alternatives and my local dealer suggested Matador and quoted £153 (255/35 ZR20s) inc balancing, fitting and VAT. Was a bit nervous as I do tend to drive fairly quickly on a few sweeping country lanes on my journey to/from work, so didn't want cheap at the expense of death or injury! Did some research and found really helpful reviews here and that they are made by Continental but with the same compound, so I thought I'd risk a pair to replace the rear tires.

Needn't have worried - they felt great immediately, although some of the assurance down to new rubber but within a week they got a real test as snow and ice arrived. To me they seemed to be better than the Dunlops and coped admirably with icy surfaces (for a rear wheel drive).

I have been so pleased with them that when the front set needed replacing I got two more and now have all four corners sporting Matadors and can find no fault. The original rear set have done 14,000 miles and have plenty of tread left (I expected them to last half as long but I reckon they are going to do at least 25,000), which given my tendency to get away quickly with lots of power and torque in the Jag, is pretty decent performance - they may even last longer than the £300 Dunlops!

Until they become so good and popular that the prices go up and lose that advantage, they are now my tire of choice!

Ive got nothing bad to say about these tires. Ive used them for Touring on my 2009 Megane convertible from Midlands UK to Monaco, very comfortable and minimal wear. I also use these on my Renault Sport Megane 225bhp and they are fantastic.
I usualy use Continental sport contact 3 on the Meg sport but decided to give them a go, and I wasnt disapointed. The level of grip is fantastic and unlike the continental they dont wear quickly. The wet grip is also really really good, can push the car hard and I dont get oversteer and very very minimal undesteer in the wet. I will use this tire on every car I have for as long as they are avaliable.

Against other mid range tires at the same price, these come out top. I can comapre these to Falkens which wear quickly, and Nexens which give massive understeer.

Excellent tire for the price, bought them apprehensively due to the cheap price but have been pleasantly surprised in the short time I have had them on the car. Side walls a little soft, but otherwise cannot fault them.

Coincidently bought them. I have Touran tdi sport with Pirelli P6000. When front one's wear off I ordered B'stone Turanza but it was delayed and guy at local tire shop showed me this Matador. Look at the thread design, that oozed quality. I was told its made by Conti's so with out any more thoughts I bought 2 front ones. It was a sensible choice. Car handling is improved a lot and much more confidence. My wife who drives it mostly have been liking them as road feedback is very good. I checked their website and they are owned by Conti's. Road noise is more then b'stone I have in 5 series but less then Pirelli. Wet handling and braking is second to none. It cost me £120 for 2 tires. Go and buy them. You will not go wrong. Don't waste money on anything more expensive.
