Description

MatraX URCOLA+ (235/40R19 96W XL)

“The Urcola Bull”: Precision, High-Speed Control, and Acoustic Refinement.

Developed by the Portuguese Alves Bandeira Group, the URCOLA+ is designed to unlock the dynamic potential of performance vehicles while addressing the common UHP issue of road noise through innovative internal technology.

✨ Key 2025 Performance Technologies

• 🔇 AcousticEase (AE) Technology:

  Low-profile 19-inch tyres are traditionally prone to road hum. The URCOLA+ features a specialized internal layer that absorbs air resonance and vibrations, resulting in a hushed cabin environment. This makes it an excellent choice for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and luxury sedans where silence is prioritized.

• 🏎️ V-Shaped “Bull Strength” Tread:

  Inspired by the agility and power of the Urcola bull, the directional-style tread pattern features rigid blocks that maximize road contact. This provides razor-sharp steering precision and stable high-speed cornering.

• 🌡️ Thermal-Resistant Coating:

  High-speed driving at sustained velocities generates significant heat. This tyre incorporates a special coating that dissipates heat buildup, ensuring the rubber compound doesn’t degrade or lose grip during long highway runs.

• 🌧️ 4-Groove Drainage System:

  Featuring three wide longitudinal grooves and one thin groove, the tyre is engineered to flush water away instantly. This ensures Class A/B wet braking performance and significant resistance to hydroplaning in heavy rain.

• 🛡️ Reinforced XL Construction:

  The Extra Load (XL) structure uses high-tensile steel belts and extra sidewall plies to support the weight of heavier modern vehicles. It also includes a rim protector rib to help shield your 19-inch alloys from minor curb strikes.

📊 Performance Summary

• Handling: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Excellent steering feedback)

• Road Noise: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Class-leading silence via AE tech)

• Wet Safety: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Reliable tropical rain performance)

• Longevity: ⭐⭐⭐ (Grip-focused compound; slightly lower mileage than touring tyres)

The MatraX URCOLA+ is the premier “smart choice” for 2026. It is ideal for drivers who want the aggressive performance and silence of a top-tier European tyre without the “big-brand” price tag.
