The Extreme VR2 S3 is a track and competition tire engineered for drivers seeking maximum performance in dry conditions. With a UTQG treadwear rating of 40, this tire utilizes a very soft compound formulated to deliver exceptional grip and responsive handling. It is designed for experienced drivers participating in track days, time attack events, and wheel-to-wheel racing where ultimate traction is paramount.
The VR2 S3 features an asymmetric tread pattern that enhances both cornering grip and straight-line stability. The tire's outer shoulder is designed for increased grip and precision during cornering, while the inner structure maximizes road contact for superior braking and acceleration. Reinforced sidewalls further contribute to enhanced responsiveness and control.
Compared to typical street tires, the Extreme VR2 S3 offers a significantly higher level of grip and responsiveness. However, its soft compound prioritizes performance over longevity, resulting in a shorter lifespan, particularly in demanding track environments. The VR2 S3 is intended as a direct competitor to other track-focused tires in the "Super 200" category, offering a balance of performance and value for serious enthusiasts. Due to its aggressive compound, wet weather performance is reduced compared to more street-oriented tires.
