Dont get me wrong, the RE-11 is a great tire and I just got a fresh set for the FRONT of my Z.

But my experience with them and turbos, was that they were worthless at full throttle and thats going back to when i was only 528rwhp or whatever when I first boosted several years ago.

That is why I only mentioned the RE-11 for street application. And exactly the reason I questioned the Invo purchase. I would fully expect boost to destroy them anytime you give it power. Hell I can destroy them pretty quick without boost when I want to have some fun, but I do that in a controlled environment and not public roads.
