For slammed you are better off with a tire that can be flipped for longer life.

Would you guys still say that the Nitto Invo is the best tire for being slammed? I have camber kits and everything and my alignment is fine which leads to me to believe it's the tires considering their history. Not to mention that they're discontinued now.
have you looked into nitto neogens? I am running them on my front and the car feels fine for being daily driven.

Slammed or not slammed, don't see why the tire would matter

Stretched tires and aggressive offsets, that's another story

Get the cheapest set of tires you can get your hands on. Doesn't matter the brand or how it performs. You've already ruined the car by slamming it so why bother with a performance tire? Let someone who cares about performance buy that.

BFGoodrich KDW best tire for everything.

in your case, the cheapest crap you can get, you seem to enjoy buying tires, or at least you will be learning to.

Default INVO

I had Invo's and was happy with the look, sidewall and performance, however once I really upped the power with the turbo, they didn't grip very well. I was happy with the sidewall stiffness, however, which made the steering really responsive. However, the treadwear on those tires was pretty terrible. I got maybe 15K out of them. When it came time for new tires, I went with Pilot Super Sports and they perform much better, but they run wide so I had to go down a size. Also I agree, if your main concern is longevity, get a tire that can flip so you can run both sides. I think the Hankook V12's do that. I had them for a day and returned them because the side wall was too soft for my taste.

Am I the only one with Falken 452's that don't roar? Or maybe my exhaust/music is too loud to hear it. I guess I should look into that.

Wow someone with a productive response and who isn't a smartass telling me I'm an idiot for slamming my car even though I have full camber kits and a decent alignment... ****in trolls.

Ya I read on importuner.com that they made the Neogen specifically for lowered cars with non-ideal alignments. I might look into them. In retrospect, I'm still getting decent tire life out of my tires, it's the feathering in the front and the tire roar that annoys me. Guess I shouldn't have slammed my car! Thanks again for the productive response though.

P.S. FYI, when I say slammed I don't mean Cali-slammed, I mean normal slammed. As in tucking a bit of tire and no rubbing on proper sized wheels and tires.
