New Invo Tire

Has anyone seen the new Nitto Invo tire? They should be coming out soon and I might consider getting them. The pattern is definitely unique and they claim that they perform well too. Check them out at www.invotire.com



What are your thoughts on it? OR ??? I need new tires soon!

Really? I think it'll perform well in the rain from the two grooves on the side?

Re: New Invo Tire

it has no notable escape path for water on the whole right side of the tire.

I think this tire is being designed for the "near-race" market that the Falken Azenis and Yokohama Advan Neova currently occupy that is very popular for SCCA Solo II STS class.
