nitto invo's
 
does anyone have the invos on thier car with the widder tires? 245 in front and 275 in rear? i wanted to see how much it filled in the wheel well. since the stock setup now is weak. After these bridgestones i plan on going with the invos and have to go with a wider tire. Also are there any issues going with the wider tires?

i had the invos.. my thoughts are invo's=junk

I have had my share of tires on the car. Many to compare against.

I have the invos, I like them, of course mine did not come stock with the PS2's. They seem to grip better than my stock tires and also seem better in the rain.

any others? and chime in on size?

chrisburke Oct 25, 2009 06:54 PM

Check NT05, Its a great handling tire and can be daily driven aswell. I daily my NT01's. see if they have the size you want.

im on INVOs on my 2gs n i love em so far. cant beat the price compared to the PS2s. Ride quality is good and its pretty silent. Rain traction is good to. rained a few weeks back n i was able to take turns perdy quickly still :)

I have them on my is350 245/30/20 front and 285/30/20 out back, they are lighter than brigstone, and 285 are very wide, it almost 13inches wide, i like them, but if you drive them for the long distance trip, they could get very loud.

im looking to see if anyone have them on thew stock isf wheel. not an upgraded wheel and tire.

also with the widder tire seems like people go with 245 fronts and 275 or 285 rears, does it hurt the turning radius?

chrisburke Oct 27, 2009 04:05 PM

with that wide A$$ tire on a narrow wheel is going to kill everything. get a wider rim before slapping a wide a$$ tire on there.

lx470man Oct 27, 2009 10:12 PM

i heard alot of people doing this upgrade, and what is going to kill everything?

The 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 combo will work just fine on the stock rims. The manufacturer's specs for those sizes confirms this. However, manufacturer's say the 285/30/19 should be on a rim at least 9.5" wide. Therefore, too wide for the stock rears.

When I retire, I will be going with Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TT in the 245/275 combo.

I agree, a wide fat tire on a narrow rim just looks funny ~ reminds me of an overweight person with fat hanging over their belt :thumbdn:

Much better to have wider rims and keep the same tire for a stretched look vs. a wide tire that overhangs the rim and looks like belly fat.:egads:

Stock rims = stock size tires

Of course optimum is wide rim and wide tire :thumbup: but more prone to hydroplaning in the rain.

Did you read what I wrote above:confused: The 245/275 combo works just fine on the 8.5" and 9" ISF rim. A pict of another member's car with 275s is attached.
