Default New Nittos

Had incident with a curb that took out my right front wheel, suspension and tire as well as the right rear tire.

I don't want to have half worn tires on one side and new tires on the other. Insurance is paying for two and I will pay for the others. I have not been overly impressed with the treadwear on the PS2s and don't like the idea of no road hazard warranty.

Insurance is paying for the two on the right side. I checked with my local America's Tire Co and they suggested the Nitto Invo as a replacement. Everything I have read said this is an excellent tire and it costs much less than the PS2s. Anybody ave any experience with them?



Nitto Invo
front $164 x 2 = 328
rear $250 x 2 = 500
total $828

Michelin PS2
front $232 x 2 = 464
rear $346 x 2 = 692
total $1,156

The insurance company is allowing me $750 for tires.

How times have changed. In California, the consumer gets to choose where they want their vehicle repaired. The insurance company can only recommend places, they cannot require you to have the work done at a specific place. As a result the two tires were listed at $750 (one front one rear) and that is how much the insurance company will pay me. The adjuster said I can have any tire I want, but they would pay for replacement cost of the exact tire that was on the car at the time of the incident.

They are cutting me a check for the $750 and I think I will get four Nittos for $828, not bad. I am going to get the road hazard 100% replacement as well for about $30 per tire.

I also have rental coverage. Because I have been traveling and didn't need to have a rental sitting in my driveway they are issuing me a check for half the coverage amount ($25 day for 20 days). So far they sent me a check for $125 and if it takes 20 days I will get another $125 check.
