W2 COMPOUND

Description

W2 is a more aggressive street compound for drivers who want a sportier pedal feel and stronger road performance while retaining everyday usability. It sits above W1 and is suited to extra-sportive street driving, occasional track-day intensity, and some rear applications on small front-wheel-drive race or rally cars.

Technical Summary

Material: Non-steel.

Temperature range: NT to 550°C.

Average friction coefficient: 0.32 to 0.35.

Application: Street use.

Performance Profile

W2 offers a noticeable step up in bite and friction over W1, with a sportier response and greater tolerance for spirited driving. It remains street-oriented, but it is better suited to enthusiastic road driving and limited track-day use. Modulation remains manageable, though the emphasis shifts more toward stopping power than comfort.
