Ns2r vs ar1

Completely different tyre. NS2R are a good fun budget tyre.
AR-1’s however are a LOT grippier, have infinitely stiffer sidewalls and won’t overheat anywhere near as quickly.
But they’re about double the price.
Depends what you want from your tyres really.

@Breamy - can you remember how much you paid for the AR1’s back then??
I’ve just bought some and they seem really cheap compared to my other options. I assumed tyres had gone up like everything else and my usual MRF’s have gone up about £35 a tyre! But I just found 2 brand new AR1’s on eBay, delivered, for £173.

Managed to get some NS2R's for the Cup in R16/195 fitment for about £350 delivered online. Bargain in my eyes and loved them at Brands.
Will try AR1s in the future if the budget allows.

Thread bump here,
Those who have tried both.. do AR1s have better lifespan? Nurburgring trip in June and there for 3 days, so will aim for 10 to 12 laps in total maybe. Not chasing lap records, of course, but don't want the NS2s to overheat and then die after a few heat cycles where the AR1's might still be fine?

Okay thanks. My used PS3's were dead after a few laps on my last visit so want to avoid that happening again. Hence now looking for semi-slicks with a good lifespan. AR1s are about £100 more for a set, probably worth it if they won't degrade as quickly
