2025 ADAC All Terrain Tire Test P4 of 8

The Matador MP72 Izzarda A/T2 is a balanced tire, much like its corporate sibling, the General Tire. 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 tires, which are not known for precision, the Matador stands out for its delayed steering response and slow build-up of lateral force.
