Default Invos do help!

Hey all just another data point. I recently swapped in all four Nitto Invos, so far so good, sticky, coner very well, case in point, purposely ran through a puddle of water, stabbed the throttle, tire shook the water and hooked. Don't know about high speed ride yet?????? Like I said at the beginning, just another data point.

I'm curious how they'll perform at the drag strip, while I'm sure they'll be better than stock run flats they likely will not be any kind of a substitute for drag radials...it's just that being available in the C6 19" size makes them real convenient for use on stock rims.

I'll bet the ride is better and quieter to boot. I'm figuring the cold weather traction will be better than the GY's, hoping the warm weather traction is better also.

I pulled a 1.8 60' with them. Not drag radials, but not bad either.
