Ideas on Tires?

Does anyone out their know the best tires I can purchase for 225/45 Stock 18? The tires I'm replacing are Dunlop DZ101's and my friend who now has a M3 says Nitto Invo are better tires. Statistically I did some research and Nitto Invo's had a higher rating. What do you think?

What tire characteristics are important to you? noise? longevity? dry grip? wet traction? Different tires excel in different categories. Falken 452's and Toyo T1R's are popular in the forum.

Noise and @ same time Longevity! The problem I have selecting or keeping the brand I already have is that my experience with Dunlop lead no problem w/treadwear except for some reason they're damage in between the trread whereas tires are very very loud and taken away the ride quality. THe tread is in good condition, even had the both Infinit and Nissian dealerships examin the tire treads.

Most summer tires don't fit in the same category as longevity. If you are looking for something to last you need to go with a lower rated all-season type tire.

For summer tires my current favorite are the Nitto Invo. I have also tried offerings from Kumho, Toyo, Falken and the Nitto 555.

Thanks I wanted to go with the Nitto Invo's. Those are exactly what I had in mind after reading some reviews and shopping around.

Thumbs Up for NiTTo Invo tires
