Message I haven't tried the Invo, but have tried the Falken Azenis,
the Goodyear Eagle F1, Nitto NT-01, Mickey Thompson Street,
and a few of the Kuhmos --

I have to say my favorite for bite were the NT-01, but the
wear for any type of DD just were horrible.

The Falkens went hard about half way through & became more
like a drifting tire than anything else...

The Eagles were hard to start with & just kept loosing
traction.

After a long talk with the guys over at Nitto, I went with
their new NT-05 --

It was a compromise between street and track at a UTQG of
200 (vs the NT-01 at 100 UTQG).

The Invo is at 260 so it should last longer on the street,
but will bite less.


So far I have to work a bit to knock the NT-05 out of line,
and when it goes it's quite controlled. Tracks very well on
the freeway compared to everything else I have driven, but I
have not yet taken them out on the track.


Just some more food for thought.
