Default New Nitto Invo Tire

Have you guys seen/heard about the new invo tire? I like the unique tread pattern and the specs on those things seem pretty good. They're made for upscaled cars and I may consider getting them. Check them out at www.invotire.com



Any thoughts?

I don't know.........IMO, the thread design seems a bit to aggressive, almost like a drag radial or race course pattern. Nitto is a good tire but I would look at some tires that have a track record and have a little better wear rating then what those provide.

Good link but is that only based on tires that tirerack carries? I don't think they carry Nitto tires and it's a shame cause I'm interested to see how they'd perform comparing to these other tires.

^^^
i've had nittos in the past...
bottom line - you get what you pay for
nittos are decent tires for the price
but they do not compare to the upper end max performance tires

What models specifically? You can't blame the whole lineup just for one model. I've had the nitto neogens and they were great.
