JK JK. Since you've made such a statement, however, I would like you to back it up now...Why do Invos suck? What do you recommend in the price range that is offered in the same sizes?

What was this test for? I'm skeptical because I've heard mostly good things about Invos so far on this forum. If Invos and 555s are so bad, then why do so many people here keep purchasing them and endorsing them?

Also, what are the categories at the top of the page (in the pic)? I like to know what I'm looking at before I judge something by a review.

My other choice right now is Toyo Proxes 4. Problem here is I have to go with the lower profiles as 295/35/20s are not offered...

What does everyone recommend tirewise (going back to the drawing board)?

its from consumer reports. they test braking, handling in dry and wet conditions. hydroplaning, noise, ride comfort, and tread life. and a lot of people do recommend these tires. i thinks its because they have them after getting them cheap.

Are those categories you posted in order? What do the symbols mean?

And the question to end all questions Hooraybeer, what do you recommend? Keep in mind I'm going staggered 20 x 10s in the read and 20 x 9s in the front.

in order from left to right is: dry braking, dry handling, wet braking, wet handling, hydroplaning, rolling resistance, noise, ride, tread life.

my recommendation is start from the top of the list and go down till u hit a price in your range. they are really expensive.

Never mind. I found a full version of the table. I'm still having a hard time trusting this review based off of other reviews I'm looking at. Do you have any personal experience with these tires, Hooraybeer, or are you just basing your opinion off of the Consumer Reports review?

im basing my opinions off of consumer reports. the websites like tirerack and disount tire direct all have consumer opinions. everyone who just paid 300+ a tire is gonna think there tire is good. its hard to trust joe schmo when rating a tire. consumer reports was able to test and compare 20+ differnt tires something all of us cant do. good luck in looking for a tire.

Im pretty sure price and tire size has alot to do with it all.

I couldnt find a 295/35/20 before.... there are 2 others I think I have seen but not in the same price range
