Default Nitto Invo?

I've tried searching and finding some people with Invo's on their 'Stangs without much luck. Was wondering if anyone has any experiene with them, preferably on a New Edge with 275/35/18 but not picky. Main things I am wondering are about the tread life, performance, and ride quality. Anyone's first hand input is greatly appreciated.

I have not run them, but they look pretty nice to me. ***HERE*** is the Nitto product page for them.

There are lots of splits in tread pattern, so probably pretty good in dealing with small puddles and such. Traction appears to be quite good and should not be too loud either.

Tread life is going to be relatively low as they are a pretty soft tire. You can get a pretty good idea of how soft they are via UTQG rating. These are 220 and your average Toyota has probably around 340 UTQG. The Nitto 555R's are at 100 (very soft) MT's are pretty much not even rated as they are pretty much bubble gum

You could expect probably 20K out of them if you DON'T burn them or run around the track all the time. I am hoping to get 8K out of my R888's.

yeah ive looked on their poduct page lots, but companies tend to be pretty biased about their mercandise. im pretty sure in the size i need they are 280, which is the same as my old eagle f1 gs d3 i hadon my miata, which lasted very good bt on a much lighter car. im still debating between going with 18" y2k cobra r wheels with 275/35 or 17" 03 cobra wheels and 275/40 nt555's.

i am kind of leaning towards the 17's b/c tires are less expensive in general for them, but the invo doesnt come in that size. too many choices..
