richardc9052 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 NS-2R Street compound. Ill be buying a set myself. Lots of good reviews. .T1-R are good but way over rated and are just a normal road tyre.Cannot comment on Parada spec 2 although on my research travels regarding the NS-2R's i read quite a few comments on the Parada's being quite shit in the wet compared to the NS-2R. although even the NS-2R wont be as good in the wet as the average road tyre due to the semi slick design..

RobSR Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 T1-R's wankSpec2's - decent road tyre in the dry, rubbish in the wet.NS2R's similar to an AD08 half way to a semi, a lot better than the previous two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 R1R for me for the road888 for good weather/track Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bug679 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 T1-R's wankSpec2's - decent road tyre in the dry, rubbish in the wet.NS2R's similar to an AD08 half way to a semi, a lot better than the previous two.Are the t1rs that bad ?was gonna try them as I need two front tyres Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Stick with the ad08r they are better than all of the others, and take the advice on the t1r lol they are fucking terrible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richardc9052 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I had use of a mates gt.. still completely standard engine wise bar exhaust and intercooler.. still standard boost and it it just understeered like mad with t1r's.. The NS-2R are a very good tyre. mate has them on an mx5 for track days and they are actually used as a control tyre in a few race series. Brand snobbery will stop people who havent used them from agreeing... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MARC MOSS Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Ns-2r sidewalls suffer on track but they do grip well on the road Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReeceGolliker Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 T1r's are terrible tyres, cheap but still not worth it! AD08r's! Best thing I've put on the glanza! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) AD08r's are the best tires ive ever owned! Edited March 24, 2016 by jimmymac101 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobSR Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 NS2R's are fine on starlets even the sidewalls are okay as the car isn't particularly heavy. Same when people say R888's go off quick, yes they go off quicker than an A048R but again, on a light car they are fine. NS2R's are nankang's colin. About £55 a tyre. That said a 195/50/15 AD08 isn't much more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Think you can buy R1Rs at similar money Seriously knock a t1r as much as you want (they are infamously average) but both its big brothers R1R (wet semi) 888/r are fantastic tyres in a soft compound Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Phil, haven't they discontinued the r1r now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

burty Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Ive ran two of the above tyres paradas shocking replaced them with evergreen tyres before I needed to which I actually preferred, and t1rs not bad tyres at all a little noisy maybe of the two I prefered the toyos but I ran neither on the starlet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I had ns2r on my ep3. Decent on track once up to temp but wore very fast. Frankly dangerous cold in the wetHave AD08R now and they are much much better in the wet and seem better in the dry. Haven't been on track yet to tell you how they perform there but my mate ran them last time and they were just as good probably better than the nankangs as they seemed to have a better window for prime operating temps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep91 kid Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Spec 2s, phenomenal in the dry, scary in the wet, average in the cold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Spec 2s, phenomenal in the dry, scary in the wet, average in the cold Phenomenal? Really? Lol what else have you tried ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 mark wat do you say for damp /wet roads ( as it always rains ere in ireland ) best tyre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I'm not sure if they are still made but same weather and conditions as yourself Colin and nothing as good as a r1r in the wet/damp and I've tried a few Fresh 888s aren't too bad in the damp but not suited for standing water There is a kumho that a couple of the Porsche lads use as their wet tyre at the sprints v700 maybe?Fella also uses a ad08 as his wet.For dry pretty much everyone uses soft compound 888s or the maxsport rally style tyre Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
