I noticed a pretty big difference when temps are really cold (here in SC that means <40F) with the Invo's being superior regarding cold weather grip.
Other than that, I can't really say they grip much better than my 10k mile Supercars when temps are warm.
They are however much quieter and have a much better ride. I hope they grip as good as the supercars when up to temp on the track (roadcourse) as I am cheap and intend to run them at the track instead of buying R-comps just yet. I am a little aprehensive, as their superior cold weather grip gives me the sneaky feeling that the rubber compound is not gonna like really high temps. It have yet to find a tire that grips well at both extremes.

One thing though, the rear tire will be smaller diameter than stock by almost an inch. It looks a little bit funny and required a slight change to the tune to have the speedo read correctly.

I have been in contact with Nitto because the Invos I bought SUCK. I highly suggest you get a different tire. I was getting better grip with my worn out runcraps that I have gotten with the new Invos.
My 2 cents.
