9. Date of manufacture of the tire (week of production / year of production)
PR is an abbreviation of "ply rating". This label originally indicated the number of layers of cotton fishing line in the shell. A large number of bearings means a higher load capacity. When stronger materials were introduced for bearings, this term was removed from the actual number of bearings. Currently, a tire with 8 PR can only have four nylon linear bearings. Today, the stability of a controlled tire is expressed in terms of load capacity and speed capacity, and not in terms of the ply rating.

• The tyre is constructed from an ALL STEEL construction with a no-air rendering that consists of one load-bearing structure built from steelcord and four contact breaker insertions from the same type of material. The tyre base has a new profile, the applied hexagonal cord, double core, with steelcord protection and base fillings from special mixtures.
• The tyre body is constructed from a profiled inner rubber, with a new system of rubber covering of the steelcord body, and contact breakers with the application of a new shoulder part filling.
• The tread of the tyre is composed of two layers ? the external one which is made from a mixture that has a long durability with a high number of made kilometres and an inner layer which leads away the heat produced during the rotation of a loaded tyre.
• Technical specification of the product
• The new type of tread pattern is marked M+S for winter conditions, which enlarges the current range of MATADOR tread patterns with a new progressive solution for all types of winter roads in the category of long distance and regional transportation.
• The DW1 profile represents an optimal merging of demanding requirements for safety, long durability and low noise. The adjusted construction and composition of the tread pattern elements provides sufficient traction, adhesion to slippery snow road surfaces as well as better climbing abilities in deeper snow.
• The designed lamelling technology guarantees an extraordinary adhesion and efficient breaking qualities on wet and frozen surfaces.
• The tread pattern is designed for driving axles of trucks and buses.
Driving qualities
• The optimal construction and structure of the tread pattern elements provide sufficient traction and adhesion on road surfaces with slippery snow as well as sufficient climbing qualities in deep snow. The proposed lamelling technology secures an extraordinary adhesion and sufficient breaking capabilities on wet surfaces and ice.
• The DW tread pattern profile represents optimal balance between demanding requirements on security, high number of kilometres.
Application
• The tyres, with a new type of tread pattern marked M+S for winter conditions, enlarges the current offer of MATADOR tread patterns with new, progressive solutions for all types of winter roads in the categories of long distance and regional transportation.
• The producer recommends the application of these tyres on the driving axles of trucks and buses.
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher.

* when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note:
Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).*

Please note:
Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A
The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016.
B
The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016.
C
The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
