2025 ADAC All Terrain Tyre Test P4 of 8

The Matador MP72 Izzarda A/T2 is a balanced tyre, much like its corporate sibling, the General Tyre. It excels on gravel, where it is rated as the best in the test field, primarily because of its superior traction. In contrast, its performance on dry roads is a significant weakness. Even when compared to other all-terrain tyres, which are not known for precision, the Matador stands out for its delayed steering response and slow build-up of lateral force.
