Default New Tires!



Nitto Invo 255/50r17's. They seemed to stick really well on the drive home.

I am very interested in these tires. They look good on your car. How many miles do you expect them to last and how is the ride? A local installer here said 6-8K. which alarmed me some.

Only 6-8K would surprise me and upset me greatly. Nitto does not give a mileage guarantee. I would guess that many people who buy tires like this aren't very easy on them. If you smoke the tires a lot, they won't last as long.

They do have a good ride, and are quieter than the stock Pirelli P-Zero Nero's. And, as I said, they do seem to be quite sticky. However, I have only driven them about 10 miles, half of which was on the freeway.
