AWESOME TIRE!!!!!!

running them in 255/35/20 and 295/35/20...

Just put my first set on. Love them so far. Good on wet roads, great on dry.

 

[Agent Jones]

they are MUCH cheaper if you go into your local discount tire and talk them down. they price match ANYONE. i got mine for less than 600 for all 4

Tire sizes are in my sig. The wear is good and sideways grip is great. In a straight line, I can't get traction from a dead stop if I stomp on it. I can spin going into third gear. As far as looks, I give the tire 2 thumbs up for a unique tread design that cannot be mistaken for any other. My tires are holding up fairly well even though I light it up frequently. This tire would be excellent for a road coarse or track but not the strip.

WTF.........I paid $820.00 to my door for the 4 of mine. How did a tire shop beat an internet warehouse?

Do you have a number or web address? Do they ship for free?

My simple mods are listed below. No serious power. I just can't get them to stick for some reason. Going into 2nd gear I can get the car to fish tail easy.

no they dont ship and its just discount tire. the one that he posted. they beat it cause they price match. So i did a price search on google. found a place selling them 135 fronts and 185 rear and printed it out. so he beat it and did 125 and 175....600 even, but then i had to pay 8.25% tax so it made it a little more. its part of their business, they guarantee to beat anyone.

but yours are 18s and mine are 20s.

Looks like this could be the tire to go with. That's amazing that you got them for less than 600....I will have to do some research and try to do the same!

yep, do you have a discount tire local to you? if so just google the tires you looking for and find some internet shop that selling them dirt cheap. those internet shops normally charge high shipping cost but you dont have to pay those cost locally. i just found my receipt and it was 125 front, 175 rear for 600 even plus tax. 649.50 total. Now keep in mine that mine are 20s, not sure if 20s are cheaper or more expensive than 18s.

i have them front and rear, 275/35/19s in front and 325/30/19s in back. i still have a little bit of traction problems until they warm up but overall i love them. nice and quiet at interstate speed and good in rain(as good as a 13 in wide rear tire is gonna get)

 

[stang03]

I'm not sure if there is one local or not, but I don't think there is. But that is an awesome deal! So what do you rate these tires as compared to others???

 

[Agent Jones]

i have had

Nitto 555
KDW2
yokohama sdrives
stock perillis

i put the invos above all of those. invos are a 8 out of 10 in rain and 10 of 10 in dry. i can drive 85 mph in heavy rain without any thought. (dont do it though not very safe) and in the other tires anything above 60 felt scary.

I love my invos...

I have 255/45/18 all around. I paid 795 installed/balanced

Appearance: 9/10. They look awesome, and you can not mistake them for anything else. Only fault id that their sidwalls are a bit "boring"

Treadlife : 8/10 Mine will last just about 14-15k. Bear in mind, I drive HARD on my tires. I have no doubt they could see 18-20k if you are careful. I did not buy my car to be careful

Grip 9.5/10 cornering grip, simply amazing. They emit a slight noise right as they get to the limit, or before they understeer. It is very easy to push these tires to the limit. Straight line traction, its definitely an improvement over the stockers, but it could be better. In the cold, I can still spin in 2nd gear with 4.10's

Noise 10/10 - Very quiet tire. Couldnt be any happier in this category

Where did you get them from? That seems to be a pretty good deal for all 4 tires installed and balanced. I've been looking at these, the NT555's, and the NT05's. How would you compare them to these?

I'm thinking about trying the new Nitto NT05 next also. Doesn't cost much more than the Invo.
