until someone has driven on both the NITTO INVOs and the BFG KDW2 nobody can give you a REAL answer. I have heard both positives on both, but more people have driven on the KDW2. The only REAL flaw with the KDW2 is noise, everything else is atleast average or better (mostly better).

thanks guys. how difficult is it to roll the fenders? Will I need to roll the fenders with 245's in the front or just with 255's? What about the back?

How would the KDW's sound compared to my Nitto 555's? My tires are pretty loud but I can't stand anything louder.

Damn, based on what I have heard I was pretty set on BFG, but I just read tons of reviews on discounttire.com for several different tires, seems invo's are getting almost perfect reviews (4.5 of 5). BFG isn't far behind with 4 of 5. I hate making decisions

dont 100% base your opinions on what people say on discounttire.com. They might not have the same driving style as you, might have a different kind of car, and might be used to some other kinds of tires....

Do you want all out performance, or do you want a luxury performance tire... how important is RIDE QUALITY/NOISE to you?

Well invo's vs the 555 is night and day. I8acobra has 555's on his , my car has invo's. We have each driven each others cars and its night and day difference. He should have new tires in a month or so. Invo's are quiet as hell , 555's arnt bad loud , but the're slick .

I dont drive much (2,800 miles in 7 months) so I would rather have an all out performance tire than sacrifice performance for noise.

KDW2 is probably the best bet then.

I guess I will just ask a yes or no question and hope for responses.

will 295/35r19 rear and 245/35r19 front work with no rolling fenders?

245 is narrow? I would do 255, but I fear having to roll the fenders.
