Mabor – Tyres Created with Iberian Passion
Mabor is a Portuguese tyre manufacturer established in 1938. However, due to wartime challenges, production began in 1946. As the only major tyre factory in Portugal, Mabor products quickly gained popularity not only domestically but also in neighbouring Spain.
Despite the rapid growth of the automotive industry on the Iberian Peninsula, local demand soon became insufficient for the company’s expanding production. Mabor tyres found a place as a budget-friendly option in many Western European markets. In 1990, the company became part of Continental, one of the world’s largest tyre manufacturers.
Although Mabor tyres are affordable, they maintain a high standard of quality. Combining global expertise, local dedication, and meticulous craftsmanship, the brand has become synonymous with excellent value for money.
Mabor Tyre Range
The Mabor portfolio includes tyres for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
Among summer tyres for passenger cars, the Street Jet 2 series is designed for city and compact cars with 13- and 14-inch rims. Comparable in price to retreaded tyres, they are a great choice for drivers of older vehicles, as many manufacturers no longer produce tyres in these smaller sizes. Known for their durability and longevity, they are especially appreciated by cost-conscious drivers.
The flagship series of summer tyres is the Sport Jet 3 range, which covers a wide variety of sizes from 13 to 19 inches, with varying profile heights and widths. These tyres are suitable for both city cars and luxury vehicles. The Sport Jet 3 series also includes XL tyres, specifically designed for SUVs and heavier vehicles, such as older American models or minivans.
While summer tyres are more popular due to the brand’s origins, Mabor also offers winter tyres under the Winter Jet 3 series. This range is an adaptation of the Sport Jet 3, engineered for colder climates, and available in similar sizes. These tyres excel in water drainage at low temperatures and perform well on snow-covered roads.
For light commercial vehicles, Mabor offers the Van Jet 2 summer tyres and Van Jet Winter tyres for colder months. Available in sizes ranging from 14 to 16 inches, they are ideal for smaller vans and minibuses.
Why Choose Mabor Tyres?
Mabor tyres are less known in markets like Poland, as their primary focus has historically been Southern Europe. However, they are becoming increasingly available in new regions. Many drivers overlook Mabor products due to unfamiliarity, favouring well-known brands over the proven performance of these tyres.
The brand, however, is worthy of trust. In their price segment, very few competitors offer tyres with comparable durability.
Mabor competes primarily with budget manufacturers from the Far East and companies specialising in retreading tyres. While these alternatives may match Mabor’s pricing, they often fall short in quality assurance. With over 75 years of experience and as part of the global Continental group, Mabor offers reliable, high-quality products at an attractive price point, making their tyres an excellent choice for value-conscious drivers.
