Default Any one tried the Nitto Invos

In need for some new tires, looking to keep the stock size. I did a quick search but nothing really turned up. Just the word Invo embedded many post.
Thanks in advance.

I have Nitto Invos on my 20" wheels and they're pretty good. Not sure about stock sizes, but I'm sure the quality is the same.

There are a lot of positive reviews on Tirerack.com. You could try checking there for more feedback.

I had them on my G35 and thought the sidewalls were too soft. Many Vette guys use them and the M3 I passed on the track this weekend had them too. Im sticking with an extreme performance tire. Summer tires are for cruisers lol

I do like the design of the tread and the fact taht the outer edge looks almost slick like ( very little tread pattern)

I had them before, they were okay. Much less performance in terms of less grip and less handling than the stock Bridgestones. Upgraded to Michelin PSS and couldn't be happier. Personally I think they are a downgrade from even the stock Bridgestones.

If a Michelin PSS is an 8 or 9 on a scale of 1-10 (for street use)....I would give the Invo a 2 or 3. And even that's being generous simply based on the aggressive looking tread. Poor grip, terrible in the rain and useless after a few thousand miles.

I ran them in a 305/25/20 size on my adv1's. Upgraded to 295/25/20 PSS and later went back to a 295 Invo simply because Michelin was on back order and I needed tires. I remembered how much I hated them after I went back to the Nitto.

I'm now back on the PSS's and couldn't be happier.
In this case, you get what you pay for.

Thanks for all the feed back guys, The Michelin PSS seems to be the way to go.
