What are you guys opinions on these 2 tires? Looking for a 255/50 17 tire. And these are both options.

How do you intend to use the tire?

What are your criteria for a good tire?

This link might be of help if you haven't seen it already

I'm looking for a good daily driven tire for both wet and dry conditions. I go to the 1/4 mile track maybe once a month and one of these days i'm gonna make it to an AutoX event lol

But first and foremost this is a daily driven tire.

do you store your car during the winters or something?
i have daily'd nt555s on my car for about the past year and mine are pretty close to toasted. I also did one autocross event. I do however, drive pretty hard.

lol... tires don't last long on my car lol

I drive the crap out of my car and put on a lot of miles lol

I've already replaced a full set of stockers and almost ready for an other set and i've only had the car 2.5 years :-P I've also got a tad over 50k miles on my '08 :-(

I have the Invos and love them. I travel quite a ways every day to work and back. I think they have a very smooth ride...the traction is excellent.

This is pretty much the same for me, and i need two new fronts first . . . will the INVO's be good for whats described above ?
