Nitto Invo tires?

Red__Zed · 03-29-2011, 04:36 PM

Now that I'm off my phone, here's a little more of my take on the Invo's.

For a street-only tire, they are perfectly fine. They are much quieter than the stock tires, and definitely the quietest Nitto's I've ever used. They were intended as more of a lux-performance tire than a true performance tire, so they're quiet and tend to have a decent ride.

If you are driving them hard, they have a tendency to get pretty greasy, and while they cool down relatively quickly, it can make them pretty unpredictable.

A lot of people claim they didn't handle the wet that well, but I really felt they were absolutely fine in the wet.

My overall thought on the tire is that it is largely unremarkable. It does everything OK. It's fine in the dry, fine in the wet, not that noisy, not that harsh, etc. On the other hand, it doesn't really do anything well. Grip is not on the level of a true performance tire in either the wet or dry, and they're a bit pricey for what they are.

The look of the tread is also kinda hit or miss for most people. I'm not the kind of person who buys tires for look, but if you are, it may be worth looking at for you.
