Unfortunately, its rating didn't improve much in the GTÜ test, finding itself in the last place. Despite some shortcomings in comparison, Barum's history of producing reliable tyres is evident.
With regards to the data from all tests, it is clear that the Matador MP47 Hectorra 3 is the superior tyre overall, thanks to its higher rating and better positions in test rankings. Its overall performance amidst various tests demonstrate its resilience and adaptability to different conditions.

However, it's worth noting that their performance may vary under different conditions and driving demands. Both these tyres have not been replaced with newer models, as of our testing conclusions.
