Everyone has their preference, so basically all you can do is research and then decide for yourself which is best for you and your situation.

You'll find that tires have different wear specifications, traction specification, speed ratings, etc.

Really up to you to research what suits your needs.

If you are worried about your speedo then go to 1010tires.com and they have a tire calculator and then you see if the tire you chose if a perfect match or will it be way off and by how much..

 

Tiredirect had a tire sale last week on ebay. Free shipping and $100 off orders over I think it was $300. I got 4 of those for like $500 in 235/35/20 & 255/35/20. I haven't tried a lot of different brand tires but was happy with the nitto's so went back to them.

Check tiredirect on ebay, maybe there sale is still going on.

 

I loved my nittos 555s when i had them on my speed6... with them i was able to cut a 1.62 60ft and these were not the "R"s..

 

I love you right now. I almost made my purchase and you led me to these. I may be even able to pick these up.

 

oooOOOoooooOoooOoooo
tempting

 

Nitto is a significantly lover class tire compared to Toyo, Yokohama and Hankook

Here is a comparison done by Powercar comparing Vredestein to quite established brands of tires

 

It really is all preference. What are you looking for in your tire? Tread life? Reduced road noise? For me, I love Michelin PS2s, but they're too expensive and aesthetically the tread is ugly lol. Toyo T1Rs are solid, but also expensive. I'm a Hankook v12 kinda guy now. They're quiet, grippy, have decent tread life, and look great! I didn't like Kumho SPT or Falken FK452 because of the road noise. I've had a variety of wheels and tires but since I swap wheels frequently, I can't give a proper review on the other brands.

 

I really hope the OP has already gone out and bought a set instead of waiting for this Brand-War to be over

 

If you are running a staggered setup the Nitto Invo's are non-directional. This means they can be rotated side to side !

 

well most tires can be rotated anyway, just a matter of swapping to the wheel on the other side

 

Directional tires can't do that...

 

directional tires can only go front to back or back to front. Can switch it to the other side that's all

 

With our staggered setup on coupes you only get the option of swapping drivers to passengers IF you have non directional tires!

Sedan it's w/e. Front to back is fine but only on non-directional can you follow normal rotating guidelines.
