Matador Hectorra Van 195/65 R16 104T

Matador delivers again

Put these on two months ago and the car feels noticeably more planted. The Hectorra Van grips well on dry roads. Not the grippiest in hard cornering, but for normal driving they're more than adequate. No squirm even on hot asphalt.

Fitted and forgotten

My mechanic recommended Matador and he was right. Quiet, stable, no complaints. No squirm even on hot asphalt.

Good grip in the wet

Good balance of comfort and handling. Would buy again. Good value, though the sidewall is softer than my previous set. Stable and precise in summer heat.

Great value for money

Handles standing water better than my previous set. Feel much safer in autumn rain. Brakes hard and straight, no pulling.

Does the job well

Good tyre overall. Would have liked a bit more feedback through the steering. Not the grippiest in hard cornering, but for normal driving they're more than adequate.

Better than expected

For this price I didn't expect much, but the Hectorra Van genuinely surprised me.
