Nitto Invo 305/30ZR19 102Y Passenger Tire

We got Invos for my wife's car (no modifications, pretty conservative driver) and they were fantastic. Really quiet and smooth like butter. Living in California we didn't have much chance to test them in the rain, but there's a great clover off-ramp near our house and the Invos could take a spirited racer line. My wife wanted the treadlife to last a bit longer, but I know performance and longevity don't usually go together.

I junked my factory Dunlop Sports about 2 weeks after purchasing the car before they got me killed ! After some extensive research, I decided on the Invo's, although, I've never run Nitto's before this. I was hoping that they did most of what they're advertised to do, especially with cornering grip and stability as I tend to "occasionally" challenge the cars limits...always within the legal limits, of course ! Well, surprise, surprise...any apprehensions that I might of had were quickly gone.These tires virtually transformed the performance of my M3, and put confidence back into my driving. I've been driving more years than I care to acknowledge, and based on my experience with many other makes and types of tires these Invo's more than compete with much higher price and over hyped brand names ultra high performance tires. On a scale of 1-10 (10 best) I would rate them a 9 across the board on all measurable performance characteristics (I seldom give out 10's...there's always room for improvement !). I haven't had them long enough to rate their wear, but wear isn't as important to me as any other performance feature. I'd much rather have a tire that performs effectively for 15K miles than one that lasts 30K with compromising performance. Keep up the good work, Nitto ! As the Arnold once said; "I'll be back" !
