Hope that same dude isn't rocking aftermarket lugs wit oem wheels....

I'm rocking them now, so far so good. Nice ride, not too loud like 452 status. They don't hold at all in the rain, kicks out traction with ease.

Revive from the dead..... Looking at getting some wheels and starting to shop for tires. Was looking to get the Pilot SS but then thought maybe I'd look around to see what's out there and these came up. Anybody else have experience with the Nitto Invo for the F in a 245/275 sizes??

Thx

I had them on my last car in 265/305mm they had decent traction/tread life/noise they are a decent tire for the money.

looks like a lot of mixed review. i just had invos sized 245/35 and 285/30 on the car. took them off due to wear and one blow out in front. they were quiet down to the steel belt. i didnt even know they were bald in the front until one of them blew out on me. they are good in the rain.

its a good inbetween tire . not good at anything specific but they were tons better than the hankook ventus v12.

Thanks for the response Since the Pilot super sports are on backorder with no eta in the next 60 days, that leads me to choose something else unfortunately

Do you know anything about the Continental Contact DW? It might be between that and the Nitto Invo

I too could not get the PSS, so I ordered and just installed the DW's - I really, really like them.

I am running the 245/275 setup and the ride quality and handling is significantly superior to my stock Potennza REO50As. Wet performance is far superior than stock and one of the best tires available in the segment.

Some think the DW sidewall is too soft for the track/aggressive driving..I have not noticed this one the street (I do not track). Based on my research, I think the DWs are a great alternative to the PSS. They offer 95% of the performance and all of the treadlife and ride quality of the PSS.

Awesome Just the feedback I wanted to hear about the DW's, somebody with an F and the exact same tire set-up.

I don't know if the S-03's are available in those sizes? At least they didn't show up when I was looking through tirerack at the 245/275 sizes?

I'm running 245/35 and 275/30 Nitto invos on stock rims and they're great for daily driving, probably not the best if your going to be tracking. I really do like the wider look.

Any problems with the sidewall being too soft like some have said?? Do you have any pics of them installed on your F?
