MatraX Camarga (235/45R18 98W XL TH)

High-Speed Refinement. Engineered for Silence and Safety.

The Camarga is designed by the Portuguese Alves Bandeira Group to compete with premium European brands. It focuses on delivering a “library-quiet” cabin experience and stable handling at a significantly more accessible price point than traditional tier-1 tyres.

✨ Key Technical Features

• 🔇 Multi-Frequency Noise Tuning:

  MatraX uses a specialized variable-pitch tread block sequence. This technology disrupts the air resonance that typically causes road “hum” in 18-inch low-profile tyres, resulting in a remarkably quiet cabin even on rougher asphalt surfaces.

• 📏 420 AA Treadwear (Durability):

  With a high UTQG rating of 420, the Camarga is built for longevity. The silica-enriched compound resists abrasion, making it an excellent “high-mileage” performance tyre for daily commuters who don’t want to replace tyres every two years.

• 🌧️ Four-Channel Drainage:

  The tread features four deep longitudinal grooves designed to evacuate water rapidly. This ensures maximum protection against hydroplaning and provides stable, short braking distances during heavy Singaporean rainstorms.

• 🏎️ Asymmetric Handling Response:

  The outer shoulder is composed of stiff, solid blocks that maintain the tyre’s shape during cornering. This provides a “planted” feel and sharp steering response, while the inner tread focuses on comfort and wet-weather traction.

• 🛡️ Rim Protector Rib:

  In this 45-series profile, the Camarga includes a built-in rubber rib near the bead. This acts as a shield for your alloy wheels, helping to prevent scratches and “curb rash” during tight parking maneuvers.

📊 Performance Summary

• Road Noise: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Class-leading silence)

• Wet Safety: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Reliable and predictable)

• Tread Life: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Exceptional for a UHP-style tyre)

• Dry Handling: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Stable and communicative)

The MatraX Camarga is the premier “value-performance” choice for 2026. It is ideal for drivers who want the silence and safety of a Michelin Primacy but at a much more competitive price.
