Nitto Invos Anyone????
Looking for feedback on the new Nitto Invos...
The written info I have found on the net sounds good, but was wondering if anyone here has them and what do you honestly
think of them.

running 19 in front and rear (275F, 305R)
pretty good tire for dry and wet. I was using Michelin Pilot Sport Cups which are probably the best dry weather tire out there for the street, but the Invos are not that bad on dry and much better in the rain.

Thanks Wicke Weasel... I am running the GY Supercars and they are great during dry weather, but I have found them to be less than spectacular in the rain (had a lot here in Houston lately). I am running 18" 295s on the front and I had a bad hydroplane episode going home the other day. I am going to drop down to the 245 - 275 range with the INVOs....

I've had the Nitto Invo's for a year and I'm happy with their look and performance. I'd buy them again...

Most of the posts I have read have been very positive. I was not a huge fan of the tread pattern but the real reason I did not go with them was available size. I don't know how the 18/19 guys go with 35/275 front and 30/305 rear. The sidewall on the front is like 1/2" taller! That would drive me nuts. But I am crazy.

I would NOT buy them.
I had them, they sucked, the WORST tire I have EVER had in my life. I worked with a Nitto tire engineer because he CLAIMED he had never had a complaint before. NOTHING helped.
Maybe I drive my car harder than the vast majority. Regardless, I will never have another set on anything.

I have no complaints with mine. I haven't had the chance to test them against the wet yet, not that I'm aiming for it. They hold the corners pretty well too, but I'm pretty much stock. After doing mods, I may consider the NT05s + tubbing to replace them.
