I have a hard time beliving how much better a set of non-runflat performance tires (in this case Nitto Invos) feel than the Goodyear EMTs that were on there. They are a so much quieter, smoother, and way way stickyer. I cant wait to get it to an autocross or track day...

Yes Invos are very good tires I used to sell them. I'd get non run flat tires for mine but I'd be afraid to get a flat then haft to watch some tow truck driver scrape the nose of the car as it goes on the flat bed.

Huh, I guess all the posts over the last 10 years have been true.
