Ditched the crappy MPSS and went with nitto. Best move I coulda made. No more crazy slide to the side. Better ride. Corners just as well. Easier to give full throttle and control it

Did you drop wheel size? Or does Nitto have some tires that fit stock wheels? I didn't think they had anything except maybe the Invo which is more of a touring tire. About to need to buy a set of tires so I'm also shopping atm.

I liked them on my Viper but haven't been able to directly compare the Invo versus MPSS.

Close. The rear tires would be .2" taller and .29" wider. Fronts are the same.
345/25ZR20, 285/30ZR19
