Nitto Invo Tire - What Do You Think?

[bigboi]

What do you guys think of Nitto's new "Invo" tire? You like the way it looks? I think it looks kinda cool, but can't decide whether or not it will look good on a Camaro... I guess it just depends on personal preference eh?

I personally think the tread design is kinda cool. On the right PT ride it could look very slick.

I think that's the worst reason I've heard to choose a tire.

I am not a fan of it. I like even repetitive patterns like this, plus the numbers were nice for the price. I am sure they work great but seem a little busy. Its hard to imagine how that all works together to provide the levels they say it provides. You would think with the 4 different patterns it would be like 25% awesome on wet while the other 75% was bad, thus driving on a 3" tire. Does that make sense?

yea the tread seems a little gimmicky, if that's a word. I can say, however that I have never looked at a car with big fat tires in the back and not thought that it looked good. But I would have to side with these guys and say that looks should be secondary to choice of a tire. of course I plan on going BF KDW -II, so I'm guilty too, but the KDWs got great reviews.

Yeah I saw these a while ago and I thought about getting a set since they're supposed to be better than the NT555's, but I dunno. Like someone said, it just seems that with all those different tread patterns, you'd be sacrificing a lot of each area (wet, dry, mud/snow, etc) for looks.

Looks aside they look good on paper specs wise for the intended application and plenty of fat 18" and 19" sizes.

I'll take 'em.. ;)

Hey people choose wheel size for looks so why not a tire. Do those 22's really add to handling???


They remind me of the old Yokohama 008??? or something like that that had a split pattern.

My personal opinion is that those would be something like my track tires not everyday tires.
i am really looking at Bridgestone RE-01 and the WideOvals too,,,well any ove the Bridgestone/Firestone tires.
I used to work for Firestone and love the tires. The dedication to excelent tires is very hard to miss.
A lot of people missed the concept of an entry level "tuner/performance" tire when th eFusions came out and I drove an older Vette I had sold him Goodyear F1s back in 02 nad he replaced them with Fusions as he was going through a divorce and had to sell his truck. WE put on Blizzaks for the winter. Vary nice tires for the price.
As for that new Nitto,,well everything they have built that I see is of top quality.As for Kuhmos Ill never put them on the ground unless I am between a rock a hard place and driving on the rims.
When I worked in a tire store we took many of them off and at the Goodyear dealer I worked for before that sold a lot and warrantied a lot of them.
Others may have good luck with them nut I saw a LOT of problems with Kuhmos QC.
Anyway my top line tires to recommend are:
Bridgestone/Firestone
then BFG
Then Nitto and the second and third are tied.
This is from someone who who sold and installed tires.
But run what your happy with.
Good Luck.
