You will not be able to get a street tire to hold that kind of power...end of story; ESPECIALLY on stock sized wheels.

Save your money. Tire rack putting your tires on rollers for 20 mins is not a real heat cycle.

As soon as I left the tire shop I already noticed how smoother the ride was compared to the stocks. I haven't tested the traction yet as I'm letting the tires seat in.

Just thought I'd chim in and post my opinion.

I take it you dont do canyon driving much. My only complain about the Invos are sidewall flex, too much of it, so much that it feels the tires are going to come off the rim. The straight traction is much better than the GY tho, especially when cold.

Default Wheel types on C6 CCYA's Silver Vette? Post #34

C6 CCYA - It looks like you have HRE C20s (or 590Rs?) on your silver C6 convertible. Is this the case?

I was looking at these (and Invos) and had questions about rim widths and offsets. You are showing 18x9.5 x56mm w/ 275/35/19....19x11x79mm w/ 305/30/19. Did you have any interference issues, including under no load (on lift).

Also what brake package are you running?

PS> I have a 09 Cyber Gray and am wondering how close the color matches the car. Perhaps you have been next to one and can comment?

I just put a set of 265/35/18 front and 305/30/19 rear PS2's on and I really wish they would come out with a 325/30/19 PS2. I have 18x9.5F and 19x11R wheels and I think they would look better with a slightly larger tire.

I am considering these, but how would you compare these to Toyos T1R? and if they are comparable but just not with T1R, then which other models in Toyo lineup.

Thanks
