Had them on my C6 and what a difference a tire makes!! Compared to the GY's they gave the car a whole new feeling! Response was better and gave the car a grip that was really amazing. Loved these tires. Unfortunately I sold my car last Christmas but have a set of Reproduction ZR-1 wheels with these tires up for sale if anyone is interested.

I have 10k on my Invos so far. I much prefer the ride and quietness to the GY's, run flat or not.
Your 345 30's are a little larger in dia. than the stock 325's.
Any problem with codes? Did you up the front tire size dia. also?
I've read of possible ABS code I think it is, if the diameter disparity is too great.
Also, my 325's are wearing more in the middle, at 28 psi. A possible sign of too wide a tire for the rim. No way that should be, but it might be something to keep a eye on with the 345's.

No codes Joe,I took a trip up to Columbia S.C. Last night about 120 miles round trip and they are much quieter and great grip,but they seem a little more loose like not as firm as the GYs.

I have had 2 sets of Nitto Invos and on my second set of Hankook Evos and they both have softer sidewalls than stock GY runflats. You will get used to them in no time.

I have the larger Nitto Invo's and love them. About 10K on them now and they ride beautiful, quiet, hook as well as I need them to since I don't run my car down the track every weekend, and no codes with the larger size. I just carry a can of fix a flat, a puncture repair kit, and a credit card in case of a flat, bur well worth the benefits. I would highly recommend them.

Bucwheat, I've had the 345 Invos on several C6's and I agree with you that I don't like the look either. However, I love the ride so it's a trade off I'm willing to make. Actually, its not the rears that I don't like it's the fronts. The belly of the tire is too big where the tire meets the pavement. Moreover, the sidewall is smooth and doesn't hold dressing well.

I like the smooth sidewalls, they look much better with the Ammo Mud tire coating I use. It was disappointing how soft the sidewalls are, but that is just because of the hard sidewalls of RFs. I have had Invos on three cars now, and I LOVE them. The wet performance is out of this world. They hook my 500WHP decently well, nothing near my drag radials, though.

I've had Invo's on my '05 as replacements for the OEM GY Supercars....no question they ride better; are quieter; & provide same or better grip.
