Default Opinions on NITTO INVO tires?

My friend works at tire care center and wants to trade my vertical door brackets (lambo crossfire doors) for a set of Nittos Invo tires. I already decided not to use my door brackets due to the labor cost and need tires, so I could use opinions on these tires. Thanks ahead of time! Oh, by the way the Nittos are not as good as the Michelins Pilot Sports. But the Nittos are half the price and ZR rated.

I was just looking at these tires myself. Nitto makes some that have a red stripe on them that I think would look really good on my black SRT6.
Can't speak for the quality of the tires. Have had GREAT luck with Yokohamas though.

I was thinking about their red lines for my alabaster/cedar.
They should look great on a black car too.

Too late I got the Nittos (at the store American car care center - $265 each rear tire out the door don't know the front I did not pay for those). By the way I found out that TOYO makes them.

Oh, yeah the Yokohamas seems cool just don't forget $149 is for the fronts, the rear should be more and in most cases add labor and balancing the tires and maybe shipping.

The Yokohomas are $149 ea. for the rear tires. That's just under $300 for two tires, whereas you paid $530 for the two rear tires check it out.

I tried to tell you this link says 225/35ZR19 for $149 + labor + shipping. That is the wrong size!!! The right rear tire is 255/35/19.
