The MP47 Hectorra 3 SUV from Matador is a summer tire designed for mid-range and luxury vehicles, and SUVs. In its "SUV" version, the MP47 Hectorra 3 SUV features four circumferential grooves (compared to 3 for the standard version); this allows for perfect grip on rainy roads even for heavier vehicles. Safety is further enhanced by superb braking performance. The acoustic comfort is very appreciable.
The tread design has been optimized in terms of material distribution and rigidity between the tread elements.
Reduced abrasion, thanks to an even distribution of pressure on the contact surface.
This allows for more mileage and extends the lifespan of the tires.
The rigid blocks and ribs in the center enhance the transfer of traction and braking forces on the road.
This results in a direct response from the steering.
On dry roads, the road holding is excellent and braking distances are short.
Four wide circumferential grooves absorb a huge volume of water, thus improving its evolution.
Driving safety on wet roads is enhanced and the risk of aquaplaning is reduced.
The noise emissions generated by the tread elements in the center of the contact area are reduced thanks to the closed design of the outer shoulder.
This noise reduction improves the driving comfort of the tire.
