My 2017 NS2R review on tyrereviews website: " Given 50% while driving a Caterham Roadsport SV 1.6 K Series (185/60 R13 V) on mostly country roads for 2,500 average miles I have a Caterham and live in Portugal. I bought NS-2R 180/Street compound, since I was told they were as good as Toyo R888 and would last the same or more... Utter nonsense... I got 4000Km from them. I am not an aggressive driver and I certainly don't laptime on the road. I have only done 300Km on motorways. I am very much inclined to say that Portugal has a really hot tarmac... I got none of the great mileage everyone talks about... It's a Caterham, well set up and, with half the weight of most of other reviewers' cars... Could it have been a bad batch? Maybe... Will I buy or recommend them? Absolutely not. 14 - tyre reviewed on February 10, 2017"
