What tires are you running?

rreign · 05-18-2009, 05:11 PM

Does anyone know about the Nitto Invo tires? I have done a little more research and they are just about in my price range. A little more of a straight performance tire, but I think it would do well as a good all around all year tire, atleast in this area.

R888s for me

cant wait for the stockers to melt

rreign · 05-18-2009, 05:34 PM

I'm looking for a little less expensive

+1 on those tires though

I ran some Toyo T1Rs on my G and they were close to the same stock spec on the Z - you can find em for 1000 for all corners shipped

rreign · 05-18-2009, 05:40 PM

That's more in my price range! I'll have to check em out. We'll see if they have my size

Someone here bought some Nitto Invo's a month or so ago. Do a search see if you can find him.

I did the search and the only person I found with pics and input on the Invo's was you. So are those yours? If so how do you like them? What'd you pay etc.

No, I have Bridgestone RE-11's and Nitto NT01's. The Bridgestone's wouldn't be my first choice as a street tire, they are designed for street class auto-cross. The NT01's are grooved race tires.

Mike at DDM bought the Invo's for his street tires, also Lou at Amplified has them as well.

I don't think the RE-11s are objectionable for the street. Noise and ride comfort are on par with the RE050A IMO. Tread wear is a concern, but if they are inline with the RE01Rs, then it should be decent.

The RE-11s have a treadwear rating of 180 which is actually higher than the RE050As. The RE050A are listed at 140 for some sizes.

Thanks man. I couldn't find anything that they posted, but I'll have to get up with them.

So I have decided that I needed to revamp my idea of the Work wheels. The expense of the custom make plus the wheel itself and shipping came to $3100 and that's without buying tires. I have decided to go with Forgestar F05s Two-Tone. 19x9 (F) and 19x10 (R) I will also be going with Nitto Invo 265/35s (F) and 285/30s (R) Total price will be around $2500. I save $600 and get everything I want/need for a great set-up!

Hmm dont like the F14's? And you should really get a 10 up front and a 11 in the rear... its a waste of space!!!!!

I really like the lip on the rear wheels. To me, they look way more agressive. Any particular reason you think I should go with 10/11 in comparison to 9/10 ?? I was going for more practicality and performance than looks.

for the street im running stock sizes on the sport wheel. Nittos Nt-05's they really put the power down. Track tested also, much better then the bridgestones...

I'm actually having a pretty hard time finding any street-compatible tires to fit 18x10 front and 18x11 rear. Obviously I found some options with the Michelin PS2, but I was hoping to find other alternatives to compare, and most of the street-compatible performance tires out there simple don't come in wide enough sizes. At best you can find 295's, which is right at the bottom of edge of a good size for the 11s. Ideally I'd like to be using 285+305 I think, but that size combo is hard to find.
