2018 Price List - Extreme Tyres

[GrahamV182]

Recommended as a cheap, semi slick trackday tyre...... but be careful not to go for too soft a compound.

I expect there will be quite a lot of interest this year in the VR1 tread pattern .... as a 'wet' tyre for Sprints and Hillclimbs (they are now listed as a 1B tyre by the UK Motor Sports Authority).

What’s the type s2 tyre?

 

[GrahamV182]

My understanding is that the S2 compound is a fairly hard (road- type) compound - but why would you want a semi slick road tyre?

I messaged the UK base not so long ago and they wanted over £100 a tyre delivered for the V2 R7 (medium) compound, seems expensive for remoulds when you can get new Avon ZZR, Toyo R888R, Nankang AR1 tyres for the same price.

True. Was being nosey as £49 a tyre seems ok. I’m no tyre expert mind.

mmmm - seems a tad expensive - last march I paid £32 delivery for 4 tyres and last September I paid £36 - was your quote for 4 tyres ?

My experience is that I've found the Extreme VR2 (R5) faster than the R888R in competition (by comparing my dry times at Wiscombe Park hillclimb, Manor Farm hillclimb, Castle hillclimb, Llandow sprint and Clay Pigeon sprint). Sadly the ZZR is not an option for me - list 1C so not eligible for 'Road Going' classes.

Last Year we did some quick Durometer tests in the paddock of Wiscombe Park - comparing Extreme VR2 (R5), Maxsport RB5 (soft), R888Rs, R888s (GG) and R888s (SG). The VR2 (R5) was the softest tyre by a long way.

Was priced for a pair mate. At the prices you mention above they would defo be worth a shot.
