Default Just bought Nitto Invo's......

I bought my Nitto Invo's today, but I had to say goodbye to my T1R's properly.

Hopefully, these Invo's will do well.And yes I was boucing of that rev limiter like there was no tomorrow! Ha! I love that sound. Use only in moderation.

The Invo has a good looking tire tread pattern, no doubt.

Said goodbye to a few liters of high octane, too. Good luck with the new shoes.

Thanks brotha. I kinda picked them cuz of you. Your input was helpful.






I wish I had more opportunity to burn the T1R's. I love drifting every now and then.

Wet traction is very impressive, especially compared to the 555s... those were like a rubber circle of death. On the way to Zdayz, I was doing 90+ in the rain without a problem thanks to the ******* I was following lol. They did well on the dragon in the rain as well.

I'll be autoxing on the 19th hopefully so I'll try to give a review then. I think they're good bang for the buck tires though, I paid a little over $600 for 255/40/18 and I can't think of a tire that would be stickier besides Azenis.

Ive been saying the same things for dam near a year now , and now one wanted to believe me.

BTW they do well at autocross , just a hair under the typical ST class tires. They also hold up/stick well at HPDE events.
