MU11 – Marshall’s top performer

The flagship ultra-high performance tyre of the Marshal range, the Matrac FX MU11, is now firmly established in a wide range of sizes on the UK market. The Matrac FX has been designed to offer especially high levels of wet weather performance and resistance to aquaplaning, outstanding characteristics are high resistance to uneven wear and low noise generation are two further stated characteristics of note.

The MU11 owes its performance to a combination of an optimum silica compounding matrix, advanced construction design and the application of sophisticated simulation technologies. It features asymmetric grooves that prevent heel and toe wear by minimising the movement of outside lateral blocks. The water drainage performance is enhanced by slashed lateral grooves. The range is available in some 47 sizes to fit wheels from 14 right through to 20-inch rim diameters.

Matrac XM

The first asymmetric high performance pattern to join the Marshal range, Matrac XM KH35 was ranked third overall in an Auto Express tyre test conducted soon after its original UK market launch. The magazine judged its main strengths to lie in the key safety related disciplines of wet braking (in which it finished first) as well as wet handling and cornering. Matrac XM’s strong performance in the 15-tyre test ranked it ahead of most major brands.

The tyre’s tread pattern is designed to give well balanced performance in driving conditions ranging from dry to light snow covered roads.  In the wet, the tyre’s wide circumferential grooves are intended to give optimum driving safety and water drains rapidly through its many lateral channels. A further important feature of the Matrac XM is its high degree of driving stability. Two solid type ribbed blocks increase stability at high speed and the stiff outer shoulder blocks maximise grip when cornering.
 
The MATRAC XM line-up now covers 52 H, V and W speed rated sizes from 165/60R14 to 255/35R18.
