// NS-2R

50% road / 50% track

After multiple years of success in club motorsport across the UK and Europe, the NS-2R has found itself as a highly recommended track day tyre

As used over the years by championships such as: BMW Compact Cup, MaX5, Civic Cup, M3 Cup and in open tyre series

The NS-2R is not the fastest tyre on the grid however it is one of the most consistent performers, a true endurance option

NS-2R also boasts great wet performance so users have the confidence that the tyre will perform as well as a road tyre as it will on track

The NS-2R has achieved EU tyre labelling giving it MSA List 1B approval

NS-2R with "MOTORSPORT USE ONLY" are only for use on race/track/competition/closed road events. They are not EU labelled as they are a softer compound (120/100/80TW)

Optimum camber settings between -1.0 to -3.0 degrees

HOT Pressure settings

<800kg  23 - 27.5psi

800-1000kg  24 - 32psi

1,000-1,400kg  27.5 - 37psi

1,400kg>  34 - 42psi

COLD Pressure settings

As above but use the highest stated figures by weight for your cold pressures. For example <800kg use 27.5 psi and work your way down after warm up laps.

Road Pressure settings

Use the car manufacturers guidelines.

If you are having handling issues, please see the table below which may resolve your issue, remember to do this in small increments at a time

To reduce Over steer
Reduce rear pressures or increase front pressures
To increase Over steer
Increase rear pressures or reduce front pressures
To reduce Under steer
Reduce front pressures or increase rear pressures
To increase Under steer
Increase front pressures or reduce rear pressures

 

When fitting, the yellow dot is the lightest part of the tyre so should be aligned with the valve stem on both aluminium and steel wheels to ensure that it is well balanced.
