Excellent on dry and wet, holding road like glued. No aquaplaning. Very satisfied. Silent tire. I would definitely buy them again. Way better than Contis, for a much affordable price.

I generally liked these tires. No complaints about grip or handling in wet or dry conditions. However I have just replaced them with a different make of tire due to the number of punctures I’ve suffered in the last few months. I know our roads aren’t great but the EfficientGrips seem to be particularly susceptible, especially in the sidewalls. The latest puncture, which rendered a front type scrap, was caused by a thorn which frankly should not have been able to penetrate a tire! When removed I could easily snap the thorn by hand. I could have again bought a new EfficientGrip but decided against (three of my tires had 4.5mm tread left) and have swapped to a different make.

This is a follow up review to complement my review from November 8, 2024.
I have managed to survive through the winter season and now I have installed summer tires on my car.
The nordic winter this season was not very nordic. It was not very cold and the snow came in big blizzards covering everything and then slowly melting away. Most of the winter season was spent driving on salted wet roads and packed snow-ice covered areas. The occasional blizzards with huge amounts of snow made for some fun driving though.
Even though the conditions were changing heavily, I never felt like the tires are lacking in any performance category. The grip on snow is excellent and the car feels stable. Grip on compacted snow-ice with occasional water lubricant coating, well, it's non-existent for any tire but even then I managed to get up a 10% incline that was completely covered with the aforementioned substance.
The performance on wet and dry tarmac is good at least - I can not say that I went looking for the limits of these tires on tarmac because at legal speeds around town and on highways the limits were nowhere near to be found. 140km/h (which is slightly illegal) on a cold wet highway was also comfortable and tires performed well.
Comfort and fuel consumption are very subjective. I would say the tires were very nice and soft absorbing many of the bumps on the roads. I have a short strip of very badly maintained street on my commute and just this morning, as I installed summer tires yesterday, I felt how bad the street actually was. Winter tires absorbed most of the bumps and felt like I'm rolling on a decent road. It does lead to a duller steering feedback but for the everyday family car, this is not a problem. Fuel economy change is negligible or at least not measurable since cold starts and bad conditions reduce economy and it is not easily determined how much did the tires change.
Wear after 6822km is so minor I thought the tires are brand new. Forgot to take the slide caliper but
All in all, for the price I paid for those tires (240€ per set), they performed flawlessly. My driving style is calm with occasional "let's have fun" moments mixed in. I never felt that there is a "lack of tires" or that I couldn't get past a particularly badly snowed or iced road. Everything just worked.
I recommend to buy if the price is right.

I recently bought a used 1.4 TSI Skoda Octavia estate on 16inch wheels. It came with Primacy 4s that were almost worn out. Where i live the roads are really bad, so when it time to change tires, i figured i go all in on comfort and chose the primacy 5s. With that in mind, the tires did not disappoint. They provide a very comfortable ride and they cushion most, if not all road imperfections, potholes etc. Also very quiet. Very good for cruising on the motorway and just relax. Fuel economy has been slightly worse, but that's to be expected from new tires.
Grip is very good both on dry and wet, although you don't get much feedback from the road and now going into corners i drive slower than i used to.
Would i buy again? No. They are expensive (430euros) and the ride comfort difference is not as great as, say the pirelli cinturato P7C2 i have on my other car (also a 1.0 TSI Skoda Octavia with 16" rims) which are both comfortable and good on road feedback and cheaper.

This is my first winter using the Matador Nordica tires, and I’ve driven over 10,000 km (6,000+ miles) in various conditions—wet, snowy, and dry. In my opinion, they’ve performed very well.
The handling feels solid, and I get good feedback from the road. The fuel economy is also impressive, and the tire noise is not bad. Most of the noise I notice comes from aerodynamics rather than the tires themselves.
I’ve had a few emergency braking situations, and fortunately, the tires stopped in time every time. Of course, a key factor in such situations is the driver’s reactions.
Overall, I can confidently recommend these tires. If you’re a responsible driver who doesn’t push the limits of physics, you can fully rely on them. However, I can’t comment on their wear yet, as this is still my first season with them.
For the price, I think they’re an excellent choice.

I bought a set of these so called comfort tires to replace my goodyear efficiency grip tires. I went for Toyo comfort, as the clue was in the name 'comfort', but they're not at all comfortable to drive on the road, feel every bump on the road, as you drive along. The Goodyears were far more comfortable.

Installed the tires few weeks ago. Well, they haven't killed me yet. Quite contrary - I feel they are nice and comfortable tires on wet and dry asphalt. Very soft and smooth and the car feels very eager to roll along. No noticeable fuel economy change compared to summer tires.
Granted, I have yet to see any snow or ice with them, but I'm fairly certain I will survive the winter.
Will report back once winter is done. Initial phase is promising.

Very dangerous tire on wet roads. Only buy these if you live in a very dry climate. I've done 45000kms on them and can probably do another 30000kms. They hardly wear out. I am waiting for them toe wear out so I can buy a tire that performs better on wet roads.

I am a taxi driver, mostly drive motorway. I had these tires on current car and 2 previous cars.
On current car the front lasted 100,000 miles and at the back 180,000 still in legal limits. I am about to buy another 4 tires.

I got Michelins on my Skoda Octavia FL 2.0TSI 190bhp MY2019. So far, so good. Grip on all surfaces and conditions is very good. I do not have any sport ambitions, but during searching tires for my car, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 had the best reviews. I am fully satisfied with these tires. Good performance, feedback and comfort. For me the best.

Excellent value for money. By rotating the tires they last 40 000 Miles on my car with wrong wheel allignment. I would buy IT again.
