I went on a "spirited" drive with my friend Maciej and Danny this past weekend, and I was SOO IMPRESSED with the handling, noise level, and overall grip of these tires! I pushed my car HARDER than I EVER did on the highly-rated, and WICKED EXPENSIVE PS2s that i was riding on before...I plan on replacing these with another set, and then another set..you guys get the point. BUY NITTO INVOs, you won't be disappointed!

I am the aforementioned friend Danny, and although I have to agree with him that his car was pushed to the limit and that his car did really have awesome grip, I kept up with him (self praise feels soo good, hahaha) with completely worn PS2's. Although, I still have to go with what he is saying, if I didnt need to match up the rears to the front, I would have tried his Nittos, they really did perform. Instead I just mounted new rear PS2's for a ton of $$$$.
side note, also a lot of people have been very happy with the bridgestone RE050A tires.

The Invo's are a little confusing to me..I am really leaning towards them but there is conflicting reviews on this tire. As there is with any tire I guess.
