Nitto INVO or NT05
Gonna pull the trigger soon on some Forgestar f14's and wants some opinions on these 2 tires. From what I have read the NT05 are mainly for dry pavement and the INVO is more like a wet/dry tire. Any recommendations would be appreciated from people that own them.

Well i really like the pattern on invo's(nobody said your wheels can't be a cosmetic mod too :P) and I have 420s and they are very good wet tires and the invos look alot like 420s so

I think it may depend a lot on what you're looking to do with the car and what your power levels are. For me, I'm looking for something to hold the new power of the blower which leads me to the NT05 that supposedly offers a bit better grip than the invo.

NT05 offers better dry grip, less tread life, decent on wet(similar to P Zeros), I prefer NT05

Just looking for something to get good dry and decent wet traction. Not going to any tracks. All I have is cai, headers, no cats and corsa exhaust. Might go with the Invo

Myself and a few others with the Invos have had issues with the tires flat spotting. For this reason alone, I will not be buying them again when they wear out. I currently have about 25k on mine, and the backs are at 4/32's fronts are at 6/32's.

05 without a question. The invos SUCK terribly for what they consider a performance summer tire. The 05 is a huge difference in traction

I love them. They have lasted awhile and have a good dry/wet traction. As far as flat spots I havent really noticed any.

I just got a new set of Nitto Invos this past November and so far, I like 'em!
It's been raining cats and dogs here the past few days and I've had no issues navigating through traffic with them.
