Extreme Performance VR2

I ride the VR2 NK in slalom and I'm really impressed. In the dry, it's almost slick-like. The grip is truly amazing, and the tire warms up quickly, even in the medium compound. Really great for the price. Unfortunately, wear is very high. They only last me 12-15 races, so less than a season. The soft tire lasts even less. For the price, though, I'll still buy them again because the grip really impresses me. In the wet, the semi-tread works relatively well, too. But of course, it can't be compared to a rain tire.

On the road they are a bit harsh as the compound that i chose is the one with reinforced sidewall (R7A Medium 140 TW) and the NK (new carcass) variant and they do whine a bit when slowing down especially. They grip well, hard to get them to slip, heat up very quickly and are easy to manage. For the price i would highly recommend them.

BMW E36 3.0i 1200kg,on 225/45/17 R7A: amazing on dry trackday ,very predictable compared with Federal and Westlake, consistent for more than 6 hard laps without cooling. The gripp is phenomenal from the first lap.I'm hard on brakes with CL RC 6 and never lock wheels even without ABS..amazing. Not tested in wet condition.For this price i'll never buy another semislick tire. Wear is normal for track use.

Hi, i´ve driven the 651 Sport (200TW), Federal 595Rs-Pro, Nankang NS2R (120TW) on my 1994 E36 Compact. These Tires feel happy around 2-3° Camber at the Track, but since I tried the VR2 R7A, the Car needed 4-5° Camber in the Front. The VR2 is in my Opinion clearly a Semislick, not another UUHP/Extreme Performance Tire. My Car weighs 1040kg, Power ~230-250hp. Coldpressure F+R 1,7-1,8Bar. Hot 2,2-2,3Bar. I´ll def. buy them again.

used for hill climbs 10 wins from 10 starts, loads of grip and feel, progressive slides good under brakes and go where you point them, road noise very high, wet grip good, tyre wear ok about the same as any other track tyre, and big bonus there cheap

Used as track tyres on Mazda RX8. In my opinion they need too much attention in temperature handling. You overheat them and the grip is gone. In range 40-80 Celcius they were fine, but anything above and really over 100*C they are starting to give up in every corner. Good tyre in comparison to it's price but if you need something that would last you little longer and give more grip then better find something else. Response was good, it felt tight and went where you want them to. As a big minus this tyre is going to change it's pressure every lap, so keep that in mind. You need to start really low to keep it happy and cool. :)

This is killer of a tyre - and not just for the price. Wonderful handling and grip (in the dry), withstands abuse that kills Cup2s in 30mins. On a heavy car, mine survived (barely) one tarmac rally, one day at Spa, one at Nordschleife and four other track days. They are heavy, loud, but cheap.

used in competition this tyre gave me more grip then r888, r1r or yokohama a048. i was even faster on extreme tyres then i was on avon slicks!
steady under heavy braking,
very easy to find the limit of the tyre and still easy to control once you're over the limit
i'll never drive another tyre on track again
i tested r5 and r7 compound, both withstand heavy track abuse on high track temperatures.

Hi I was used 195/50/15 R5NK Vr2 for Slalom competition, R5 soft compound give you fast start and nice grib from beginning to finish with this price the best chose for all drivers amateur and professional drivers.
