Why NS-2R can make sense
NS-2R is generally compared by drivers who want more performance focus than a normal road tyre. It can suit track days, club events, hill climbs and spirited driving, but tyre noise, wet-road behaviour, warm-up, wear rate and alignment sensitivity need to be considered.
Fitment checks before ordering
Before fitting NS-2R, check the tyre placard, current sidewall, load index, speed rating, wheel width, offset, guard clearance, suspension setup, treadwear compound and old tyre wear.
