no, I just had a spirited drive to the track then hammered them after a lap warming up each time out, they actually state no special bedding in required:smile: They squeal like hell now though :grin:
1st couple of laps in the wet I was locking up a lot and found them a bit grabby but got on top of them. They're a big step up over the 2500s in the dry :smile:
The worn tyre pic is from my old RS-Rs, the 180 NS-2Rs still look great, pic below. I got them at the right price, £104 for a pair delivered so took a punt, I'm happy with them, was considering keeping them aside to use for wet weather as I have some 888s to try too, but they were up there with...

I'd like some opinions please!
The fitment shown by the two Marks in the thread won't work for me as it's obscured, so A or B
