I'm in need for new tires and I'm looking at Nitto Invos as one choice. Has anybody run these tires on their car? All the reveiws that I have read sound very good.

I have been running on a set for about 5k miles and so far so good. I have read that the side wall is softer then some like but I don't plan on tracking the car so they are working well for me.

If there is any other information that I didn't put down here that you would like/want to pass along, please feel free, good or bad....
Thanks
No I do not track my car. Compared to the super car run flats that came on the car its like nite and day. I replaced the Good-years with285/35 rear,245/40 front,for a little over a grand for all four. I'm sure they have went up a little by now, but probably not all that much. I'll tell you one thing for sure they GRIP very well. And they are much quieter also, and since they are non-run flat I'm sure they're lighter too.

I have them on my car, 255 front and 305 rears.
Seem to do much better in the wet than the SuperCar tires. I haven't had the car on the track with them, but as a daily driver, I have no complaints with them.

Anthony,
Do you have any issues with rubbing on your car with these sizes. At the time I bought mine the installer didn't know if there would be any issues,and since they were an ordered item any issues would be on my dime.
If they work I'd like to get these sizes when I need to replace. Don't mean to hijack op's thread,but these sizes interest me.

I was one of the 1st one to get these tires about 7 months ago.
These tires are superior than the GY with exception of one thing, Soft, very soft sidewall. You can feel the flex on medium and hard turns. If you're into agrresive cornerings, or into canyon driving, then these tires are not made for it. But for regular driving, go for it.

I've had them for a few months and I love them. They're not road race tires and they're not drag radials. They're aggressive all-weather street tires. They grip as good as supercars (some say better) they're great in the rain, they're dead quiet and they soften bad pavement. They're also the cheapest sticky tire you can buy. I'm running 275/35-18 and 305/30-19 with no rubbing. If they made 325/30-19 they would be a perfect fit.

No, I haven't had any issues with them. I'm running my set up on a ForgeLine wheel 18x9 front and 19x10.5 rear.
We also have a customer car here with our World Challenge wheels on his C6 and the Nitto's using a 275 front and 305 rear. Everything tucks in very nicely on both setups.
Thanks Anthony for the input. Any of you able to post up some pics. of the bigger sizes on your cars sometime?
Like to see also. I love the look of the World challenge wheels and would like to own them (almost did), but was not quite sure of the tires sitting outside.
275/35/18 front (18x9x56), 305/30/19 rear (19x11x79). Perfect fit.
I think the all around traction is much stronger and the ride smoother, but I don't track this car.
