Excellent driving safety on both wet and dry roads
A new generation of summer passenger tyres, a wide range of sizes for 14- to 20-inch wheels.
We are presenting a new generation of high-speed summer passenger tyres MP 47 Hectorra 3 designed specifically for large-size (E-segment) and luxury (F-segment) passenger cars.
A combination of state-of-the-art technologies and modern asymmetric non-directional tread pattern provides for excellent handling and safe braking on dry and wet road surfaces. The tyre also features improved mileage performance and driving comfort.
Designed for 14- to 20-inch wheels, MP47 Hectorra 3 will be available in a wide range of 50 sizes, in the speed categories “H” up to 210 km/h, “V” up to 240 km/h and “Y” up to 300 km/h, and in widths ranging from 185 mm up to 265 mm.
The MP47 Hectorra 3 tyre is fitted with the “Summer TWI” (Summer Tread Wear Indicator) of 3 mm in height, located in the tread groove on several spots along the tyre’s circumference. When the summer tyre reaches the 3-mm limit, the indicator indicates the need to replace the existing tyre for a new summer tyre in order to preserve driving safety.
For middle-class and luxury vehicles and SUVs. Matador brand with long tradition, wide portfolio and reliable performance. High level of driving safety in the wet. Fits perfectly for example to Skoda Octavia, VW Passat and VW Tiguan.

Noise generated by pattern elements in the center of the contact patch is reduced.
Benefit
Supporting safe driving.
Sidewall Design
MP47 Hectorra 3 carries a modern design element on its sidewall – a car symbol that allows marking the tyre’s position on the vehicle. This feature will be appreciated by drivers and car service staff especially while performing seasonal change of tyres.
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. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * 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).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
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.
D
C
71dB
