I spoke to Yoko motorsport about these. They’re a good 1A tyre but don’t match the performance of the 1B A052. obviously NOT the tyre they were Rich.

It must be the marketing "It gives off a presence just by being in the parking area" - lol so important when choosing tyres.

Absolutely. Advan HF Hype-D. Anyway, they've arrived. Sidewall isn't too hard, compound feels nice and soft. Looking forward to getting them on some wheels.

Are NS-2R really 8.6kg in 195/50/15? I shall look forward to hopefully getting something lighter on the 14" OEM hollowspokes! (Which reminds me - I need to ask about PE2 weights...)
