For ultra-powerful, high-performance cars

Kim Adams' Verdict:

'I have driven this tyre on everything from a Porsche 911 to a 350bhp Ford Mustang at tracks as diverse as a soaking handling circuit and the home of the Spanish GP but whatever the conditions it remains mightily impressive. With powerful machines like these you need a progressive tyre that gives plenty of warning when the limit is being approached and the SportContact™2 delivers in both dry and wet inspiring you to use all the performance available.' Kim Adams writes for Auto Express magazine

Highlights:

• Outstanding road adherence
• Stable straight-running ability
• Excellent grip on wet and dry surfaces

The two central grooves of the NS-2, along with the v-shaped tread of the tyre, improve the drainage of water on the tyre surface and hence reduce the risk aquaplaning.

When dry, the v-shaped tread ribs ensure a uniform pressure distribution so that the entire contact surface of the tyre can be used for power transmission.

Computer similated V-shaped drainage sub-grooves increase resistance to hydroplaning at high speed running through deep water.

Two-in-one pitches and variable width tread profile help to reduce pattern noise and provide a quieter comfort.

Shoulder edge sipes ensure even and prolonged tread wear.

Balanced handling and driving pleasure on wet and dry roads.
The asymmetrical tread pattern ensures optimum contact with the ground, enabling balanced handling and making driving highly enjoyable on wet and dry roads.

Greater protection against aquaplaning and better driving characteristics in the wet.
Lots of tread blocks on the inside of the tyre resulting in a high number of gripping edges displace the water when it is raining. The driving characteristics improve and the risk of aquaplaning is reduced.

Shorter braking distances and better directional stability.
The tread pattern with optimised tread blocks ensures an even stiffness of the tyre. Thus the vehicle is safe and firm on the road with short braking distances.
