The Extreme VR2 R7A is a track and competition tire engineered for drivers demanding maximum performance. Its design caters specifically to those participating in track days, time attack events, and spirited driving where ultimate grip and precise handling are paramount.
The VR2 R7A distinguishes itself with a very soft compound optimized for dry conditions. This compound delivers exceptional levels of grip, allowing for aggressive cornering and rapid acceleration. The tire's asymmetric tread pattern further enhances its capabilities. The outside structure is designed to maximize grip and precision during cornering, while the inside structure ensures maximum road contact in a straight line. Reinforced sidewalls contribute to immediate steering response and reduced roll during high-speed maneuvers.
Compared to other tires in the track/competition category, the Extreme VR2 R7A, with its UTQG treadwear rating of 40, prioritizes grip over longevity. This tire is best suited for experienced drivers who prioritize lap times and aren't concerned about frequent replacements. While offering exceptional dry grip, its wet performance is likely compromised due to the soft compound and minimal tread pattern. Drivers should exercise caution in wet conditions. The VR2 R7A is a specialized tire intended for closed-course use and is not recommended for everyday driving.
