Description

MatraX URCOLA+ (215/50R17 95W XL)

The 2026 UHP Standard. Precision Steering and Refined Cabin Silence.

Designed by the Portuguese Alves Bandeira Group, the URCOLA+ is engineered to unlock the dynamic potential of your car while maintaining a level of comfort often missing in the UHP category.

✨ Key 2026 Technical Features

• 🏎️ Asymmetric “Bull-Grip” Pattern:

  The outer shoulder features high-stiffness tread blocks that resist deformation under lateral load. This results in enhanced cornering stability and a more responsive, “locked-in” steering feel during spirited driving.

• 🔇 AcousticEase (AE) Technology:

  Equipped with an innovative internal layer designed to absorb road vibrations and disrupt air resonance. This makes the URCOLA+ one of the quietest performance tyres available, significantly reducing cabin “drone” on the highway.

• 🌧️ V-Shaped Hydro-Drainage:

  The tread incorporates specialized V-shaped sipes and three wide longitudinal grooves. This system acts as a high-speed pump to evacuate water instantly, providing Class-A levels of aquaplaning resistance during heavy tropical rain.

• 🌡️ Thermal-Resistant Compound:

  Singapore’s hot asphalt can cause rubber to “grease up” and lose grip. MatraX uses a thermal-resistant coating that dissipates heat buildup, ensuring consistent braking performance even during long, high-speed drives.

• 🛡️ High-Rigid Carcass Structure:

  The Extra Load (XL) reinforcement uses high-density steel belts. This not only improves high-speed stability but also provides a layer of protection against impact damage from potholes or curbs.
