J/K I've never tried them, but that doesn't sound like a brand I would put on my car either. Where are they made?
I don't mind Nitto's so much, as they are made in Japan. A country that is really well known for quality instead of quantity...unlike some others over there
With 180mph+ capability I'd go for quality

Ok I take back my comment about Hankooks. I didnt know they made performance tires that rated so well. I might try some but dont really like having a mismatched set of tires on my car. My fronts are like new. The Kumho XS are simular to my tread pattern on the invos but didnt rate as well.

I just put on a set on NT05's 275/18 fronts and 335/19 rears. Much better than run flats. I have a rear wide boty cov. I drive my car hard. 11,000 miles, last set of runflats. If you drive it like you stoll it, any tire won't last long, I know. NT05 for me.

+1 NT-05 .. almost to 10k on my set and they're wearing nicely. The only thing I haven't experienced with them is driving in a downpour and that may be the only situation where the Invo's will out perform them.
