The Extreme Tires VR2 R5A is a track and competition tire engineered for drivers demanding maximum performance. This tire is specifically designed for those participating in circuit racing, sprints, hill climbs, and similar competitive events.
The VR2 R5A utilizes a very soft compound to deliver exceptional grip in dry and damp conditions. This compound is formulated to achieve optimal operating temperatures quickly, making it ideal for shorter races, qualifying sessions, or cooler climates. The tire's asymmetric tread pattern and shoulder design further enhance grip and cornering precision. The outside structure of the tire is designed to increase grip and precision while cornering, while the inside structure maximizes road contact in a straight line. Reinforced sidewalls contribute to immediate steering response and overall stability during high-speed maneuvers.
With a UTQG treadwear rating of 80, the VR2 R5A prioritizes ultimate grip over longevity. As a result, it is best suited for track use and is not recommended for everyday driving on public roads. While it meets DOT approval for street legality, its primary design focus is to provide a competitive edge on the track. Drivers should be aware that the soft compound will wear more rapidly than tires with higher treadwear ratings.
