I went Nitto INVO's 255/295 on my 18x9 and 18x10 respectively...I like them. Seem quiet, ride nice. I don't "street race" and worry about hooking though. I am more of a looks/cruiser than a performance machine type of deal.

I like to know that I can take a corner faster than most would at an off ramp and still stick, which the INVO's can do. Wet traction is good as well. Tread pattern is deff different and was another facotr i went with them.

I'm either cruising around or spinning tires on purpose goofing off. So I don't know how well the INVO's hook lol

Street hooking, out of your 2 choices, you're gonna want to go to the NT05 at least!

Here's some good stuff to think about from tirerack.

I'll never understand putting Asian tires on an American car.

I don't know why not... you already have a ton of Asian components in the car.

I've run many of the 'perfomance' tires, and by far the KDW have been the best street tire for me. I run them on both Roushs right now. They do great dry or wet (for a performance tire anyway).

Something to think about as well, the BFG tires in a 295 will be physically wider than some brands 305.

You never seem to get it through your head...

NITTO IS AN AMERICAN COMPANY!!!

The steel that makes up your exhaust was probably not manufactured in the US. The product might have been bent in the US but other than that, probably foreign in nature.

BTW, if you have a problem with putting something on your car that wasnt made in america, you need to move out of the 50's and into the 21st century. More than likely, if the company is based in america, the product is made somewhere else. More foreign manufacturers of goods make their products in America than american companies do!

If BFG still made the KD's, I would definitely suggest those. Sadly though they are no longer in production for some reason.
