Well proven solution for all terrains. For SUVs and Pickup Trucks.
Optimal performance ratio between on-road and off-road. Matador brand with long tradition, wide portfolio and reliable performance. Masterful off-road characteristics. Fits perfectly for example to Chevrolet Tahoe, VW Amarok and Land Rover Defender.
The MP 71 IZZARDA 4x4 A/T tyres are now being produced in 13 sizes for 15' - 17' rims in the speed category “T” up to 190 km/h. and “H” up to 210 km/h.
In 2003 Matador embarks on the road of producing the dynamically developing tyres for sport utility vehicles (SUV) with 4x4 drive for road and cross-country driving. The first Matador product in this market segment is the new SUV tyre MP 71 IZZARDA 4x4 A/T which will certainly please owners of SUV vehicles.
MP 71 IZZARDA is especially recommended for owners of SUV vehicles who expect balanced utility and driving characteristics on various road surfaces: dusty roads, asphalt, concrete, snow, ice, sand.MP 71 IZZARDA 4x4 A/T secures a balanced output in road and cross-country driving. It is characteristic for:
Improved output on dusty and gravel surface high rigidity of tread pattern
Low noise level and excellent gripping properties on wet and dry surface
Excellent design with inverse sidewall appearance and inscription set off in colour
Masterful off-road characteristics. The sturdy tread design with good carcass strength performs well even under difficult off-road conditions.
Good protection against aquaplaning. Deep grooves assist water displacement and provide superb off-road grip. This ensures outstanding off-road performance and greater protection against aquaplaning.
Better performance. The rigid, self-cleaning tread pattern improves performance on dusty surfaces, on gravel and on the road.
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.
