Nitto INVO users... feedback needed!!!
Re: Nitto INVO users... feedback needed!!!
I have been to Bandimere speed way with mine this year and I have 4500 miles on them and can say without a doubt they stick very well for 1/4 runs. I pulled a 12.8 on them at 5600' above sealevel. that is about 11.6 for you flat landers equivalent I am told. The humidity was non existant 7% and it was 88*f and 108 on the track and they did me proud. I am sure with some practice I could get another .2 out of them.

This means that I can settle for "great" in the corners as opposed to "the absolute best". The difference between the two tires, at the speeds I'll be hitting, will be negligible. Also, no Dragon for me this year so my only real "test" of the tires for some time will be the launch.
So, the INVO is a clear choice at this point.

Got them installed today. $130 to mount and balance them. While they were in there I had them take put my dead TPMS sensors and install plain ol steel valve stems.
Initial thoughts, great looking tires. Very quiet. A bit greasy initially until you get the shipping coating worn off. I can still get the traction light to flash if I try, but normal driving they are sticking quite well. The KDW's I took off the back definitely broke free more easily. Braking traction, once again a bit greasy at first til coating worn off. I can get the ABS to cycle by pressing the pedal very firmly (not jamming them on). Initial feel seems better than the Toyo's that I took off the front.
Anywho, a few pics, excuse the dirty car

Will update more as I put more miles on them.

Here's 8 months on Hankooks without an alignment on the rear. Fronts are close to the same.

Here are the new ones ready to go

and these should help the front out. Now I can go get front and back aligned
