I am looking at the 555's, the Invos and the NT05's. I dont care about treadwear ratings....each mfr. does their own so they are meaningless.

How many miles are you guys getting out of a set of these?

 

20,000 0n Nitto Invos...Fronts still have another 10,000 to go rears are 345's and will probably go another 4,000 to 6,000.

 

31K on my Invos and will probably change at ~33K before the next road trip. An average driver will easily get 35-40K, but I tend to push it often.

 

Me too...that is totally decent mileage though...I was 100% headed for Invos but the 555's and 05's look even stickier

If I can get 20-25k out of a set of 05's I am doing back flips. Only other concern with those would be flat tires from them picking up everything on the road. Anyone who has these and uses them on the street please post up on how they do.

 

Strangely enough, I had 3 flats with the OEM runflats from nails etc., but no flats with the Invos.

I did have a blowout with the Invos hitting one of those "Watch out for falling rocks" rocks in the mountains. I swerved too late and it took out the sidewall. It probably would have killed the runflats too.

 

I didnt light the tires up ever so the 555r2 lasted 6k for street use until there was no tread and they would be completely unsafe in any water at all. I hear they last to 12k if its dry and no tread is needed.

The MT ET street comes in a 305/35/18 that lasts about 4k with over 700rwhp. If you spin them its less. Im on my second set and have 2200 and Im not to the wear bars. T et streets kill anything from Nitto on traction.

The invos are a street tire and you can break the 345/19 loose at 50mph with 500rwhp. The 555r2 or 555r will way outperform them in traction. The ET streets can dead hook with 600rwhp.

 

I think I am gonna go with the Invos since 99.9% of my driving will be street. I am keeping my stock wheels and runflats to use in winter since the new wheels the invos are going on are chrome and I am in NJ where they salt the roads.

I'd be burning through tires in 6 months if they only last 5K!

 

I am very happy with my Invo's, my car is my DD as well.

 

I have ran more than 8 sets of nitto 555 on my Trans Am and was right at 25k to get new tires all the way around. (i could rotate them on that car.)

Vette has the INVO's and with less bun outs, and a day at the road coarse, at 20K I am about to have to buy new rear tires, the fronts could go a little longer.

 

I had MT 305/35x18 & they hooked like GLUE.. but I do not have a high HP car, & have a stock converter... my 60' were 1.85 - 1.90 on ANY type of track .. when the high HP cars were having all kinds of problems I'd hook every run...

I used to do a small burn out .. just until I would see a little smoke.. I got about 4000 miles out of them however I don't know how may burn outs I did, & I'm SURE thats what shortened the life..

Soooo.. I had used Nitto 555 DR before & they (Nittos) are a harder compound than the MT.. I just put a new set of Nittos on my car 200 miles ago .. but have not had it to the track yet...

I'm hoping I will hook the same using just a small burn out.. If I can just spin then to clean them off before each run, I'm hoping to get a lot more mileage than I did with the MT

With the MT I would not even have to lower the air pressure.. I ran at 30 lb... I think I may have to lower the air pressure in the Nittos, but if I can get twice the mileage its a small price to pay...

I have the Goodyear Supercar OEM tires on the front, and now the Nittos on the rear, and the car handles like it did with the OEM tires on the rear..

The Nitto 555 are a few $$ more than the MT (same size) but I'm hoping to get the rest of this racing season out of them (Nitto)

Like Spin said his were down past the wear bars, and dangerous on the street...

My MT were worn well past the wear bars almost no tread showing, they worked GREAT on the track, but I have a 100 mile drive to & from the track... & don't want to chance getting caught in a hard rain on the Garden State Parkway...

 

Seems like the Invo's find the best balance between mileage, grip, feel and cost + they look pretty sick!

All the info on here helped me decide...so thanks everyone

I have put 5000 miles on my Invos in the past 9 months and the rear tires are about down to the wear indicators. The fronts are a little better except the side walls are getting thin.

Of course about 1600 of the 5000 miles have been on the track!

I have been pretty pleased with them overall as my car is both my daily driver and my track car.
