Default Nitto Invo or Kumho ecsta ?

I am looking for a good tire for road 85% and track 15%. Does anyone have any experience with either tire?

Kumho's are quite good for track! not so hot for lasting on the street I night get 8,000 out of mine right now they have about half tread with 3-4 thousand street miles and three track weekends. unlike regular street tires they hold up on track.
No experience with nitos

NT05 is best dual purpose tire in my opinion

Unless you want to spent twice as much for MPSC which will last half as long

Your Sig says you have a GrandSport. That has the same size wheels as my C6Z06 doesn't it??

I run 285x35x18 front (some use 275) and 335x30x19 rears

Search the C6Z06 section for "NT05" and find a new tire store
