Default Re: G-Force vs. Invo

Haven't tried the G force but did go through two sets of Invos, FAST!

Pro -
aggressive tread pattern
sidewall rim to shoulder, near vertical. Makes the tire look wider
very quiet tread pattern
was constantly asked if they were street slicks
soft compound allows for good adhession
probably great "drag" tire

Con -
too much sidewall flex when run at recommended tire pressure, gave a quivering feel on hard cornering (fix by over inflating)
soft compound wore very quickly (5-7K miles) with spirited driving, wear 'em out fast if used for road course track days
Uneven tread wear, cupping and feathered outside shoulder on all four fronts (alignment and overinflation not the culprit. overinflation should have had the centers wear first. These issues did not exist with the prior Michelins, nor are they present with the Hankook Ventus V12 Evos with far more miles and same driving styles)

Would I buy Invos again, no! Not for the Crossfire
