So I've done some online research on these Nitto Invo's and I like what I'm seeing. They don't come in my current size of 275/35/19 but they do come in 285/35 or 285/30 sizes.

The 285/35 would be closer to what I have now and would an overall diameter of about 26.86" whereas the 285/30 comes in at 25.74". The stock coupe tire size of 245/45/18 measures in at 26.68" diameter.

Anyone have any know if it's ok to go one way or another? My rim size is 19x10 btw...

(edit) corrected the diameter of the 285/35 to 26.86" instead of 28.86"

id stay at 35 series since its closer to OEM diameter than the 30 series... the 35 series will only make your speedo .5 mph slower whereas the 30 series will make it 2 mph faster...

Moog, I think I'm definitely going to take those tires you texted me about. Just need a few days to get the cash. I'll be in touch soon.

I've decided against those Nitto Invo's mainly because they're asymmetrical which means one side of the tire will always be on the inside.

When running negative camber, I need to ability to dismount the tire from one side and install it on the other to balance out the wear (see picture in OP for what happens when you forget to rotate )

+1 on the nitto invo's ive had them on my g for the last 6 months and absolutely love them plus you can swap your rear tires left and right if one side decides to wear faster...
