Nitto Invos or CONTINENTAL EXTREMECONTACT DW or something else

looking for 275/40/20 315/35/20. Forgestar F14 20x9.5 27mm 20x11 48mm Im looking for a max summer tire. no rain stored in the winter in heated garage. I wont be doing much if any track. Car is more of a touring car but I want a tire that can handle my mods. F1 supercar G2 would be ideal if they made a 315. I do not like the stretched tire look. My main reason for changing wheels is the stock tires are just too narrow. I want wide with out rubbing stock ride height.

Both are good options, the Nitto will grip more as it has a softer compound, the conti will last more.

I have had the Invo's for almost 2 years of summer driving now and I quite like them. The must's for me is traction, low road noise and wear, in that order as well. These do great in all 3. I was on a long distance cruise last year and it rained hard and these invo's did surprisingly good in the rain. I have to replace my rear tires and I'm going with the invo's again for sure.

The tread design helps move the water easily so your tire sits on the ground.

Invos are better than Pzero. Not sure how they compare to the Continental DW. I know they are better performance wise than DWS, but the DWS is an all-season and the DW is a summer tire.

I loved my Invos before I needed to switch to an all season. They did great in the rain but even better in the dry. Awesome tire

I couldn't find them at any big tire shop in my area so I went online https://www.onlinetires.com/products...o+106w+bw.html

As luck would have it, they aren't far from where I live so I did Will Call and picked them up at their warehouse.

I have the DW's. They ride smooth and grip ok. I only got 10000 out of the back tires, 315/35. I'm on the second set of back tires. I won't get them again.

Michelin Pilot Super Sports. They are so much better than my Nitto Invos and the Pirellis.
