Name a tire. Any tire and someone will tell you that it is a “great tire.” The mind has an uncanny ability to rationalise after spending $700.

Ok,
Hopefully it is just a mounting issue, but I have a small Tire Leak on my left Rear tire. They are gonna remount it tomorrow. I checked to see if maybe I caught a nail or something but I didn't see anything. I'll let you guys know what happens tomorrow.

Am I the only one that thinks these INVOs would totally suck on a car running negative camber?
Those 2 huge water channels are meant to be mounted, facing the inside of the wheel. When you're running negative camber, you ain't gonna have **** for rubber on the ground. In truns it would be better but straight line stop and go would blow.

Hey fellas,
I just finished a drive to my girl's house in the rain. I must say that these Invo's felt extremely solid in the rain. I was very confident @ 75mph in the rain. Very cool tire so far.

Now for the camber issue as mentioned above. The inner tread block is actually almost solid, unlike most other tires. With 2 degrees of rear camber i have no problems.

So you are saying that the entire staff of one of the most respected consumer publications is on the take?

Invo's are nice. They are super quiet. It's also good in the rain. If you go on corvette z06 forums, this is a popular tire. They replace their run flats and they say the z06 is so much more quiet and smooth.

I switched from the 555s to the INVO's as well. I couldnt be happier with the tires especially in a 20" application.

The grip is amazing on these, even though i have crazy camber. Nothing like have 11" rear wheels!
