Need new tires, advice needed
Need new tires, advice needed
I have nitto invos. 295-35-20 in rear and 255-35-20 up front. I will need new tires in about 4-8k miles. I like the invos, but I'm wondering what else is out there that you guys like. I like how tall the rear is because it takes up some fender gap, so I would like to stay at 295-35 or even a 305-35. I have 20x8.5 and 20x10 rims. Let me know what works well for you guys! I live in FL so I I'm looking for a summer tire.

I've had two sets of Continental Extreme Contact DW Max Summer. Love the performance, and the price is pretty good, too.
First (original) wheel/tire combo was 19x8.5 with 255/40 all around.
Second (and current) wheel/tire combo is 19x9 with 255/40 Front, and 19x10 with 285/35 Rear. I track with these street tires, and although they howl when pushed hard, they work great. I'm considering moving up to 265/40 and 295/35 for my next set, just to get an extra half-inch at each corner.
Ps: there's a similar recent thread, called "I need tires", you may get some good info there, as well.
Good luck, let us know how you make out, and post pics please!

I'd say step down from the Invos. I've always had good luck with all Nitto's products. But have used Yokohamas and loved them as well. Michelin is great, just out if my price range
I have Pulled over 1.1 G's on my stock Pirelli P-Zero's, but I am going to go to the Continental Extreme Contact DW's when they wear out. They have better reviews and a lot better pricing than the Pirelli's
