Question Stuck on Tire Selection

Tossing it up between Nitto Invo's in a 275/35/19 or Nitto NT05's in the same size. I might be able to get the Invo's in 285/35/19's.

The Boy Racer in me wants the NT05's, but Its getting close to the rainy season here in SoCal, so the Invo's may be the better Choice. I have an alternate vehicle I can drive if I need/choose to.

My Car is a Brembo Car, I don't have the Scratch to do a wheel upgrade now, so I'm looking for a wider, stickier tire on the existing wheel.

Thanks for any help.

Cool

So I may have made a decision based on performance today. Pulled out of the gym and ran through a little puddle turning onto dry street. Had to get moving and it lit the tires up and I was sideways (mildly) thru 3rd getting up to speed. With as much tread surface area the NT05's have, it may just not have it on the streets in the wet.

I would go with the 285/35's and drive carefully in the rain
