I put a set of the Nitto Invos on my SRT6 just over a year ago. Stayed with the stock size 225/40/18 front but bumped up to 285/30/19 rear (almost exactly the same diameter as stock so no odometer/speedometer issues).

Since installed I have put only 5K on the car. The rears look to be good for another 7-10K miles. The fronts were just flat worn out. The outside tread disappered first but the inside and middle wear bars were flush as well. The camber might have been off a bit but I still can't believe only 5K miles even on the rest of the tire.

When I showed them to the place I got them. Their attitude was "...well you have a high performance car and you have to expect that kind of wear from performance tires..." Then they claimed my alignment was the cause. I admit the camber might be slightly off, but there is no cupping or any other indication the alignment is off. The car tracks straight and true (even with hands off the wheel) and there is no vibration of any kind at any speed.

I went to another America's Tire and told them about the attitude I experienced (BTW I have bought tires from America's Tire for the last 10 years). The manage apologized, looked at the tires and agreed that the wear was premature and excessive. Unfortunately Nitto does not have a mileage option and they would not do anything. The manager offered me a discount on replacements. The fronts are normally $166 ea. plus mounting balancing, disposal fee and taxes. There is essentially no warranty from Nitto. He offered me a $0 deductible road hazzard warranty and charged me $290 out the door including all fees and taxes.

I consider myself a moderately spirited driver and I haven't taken the car to the track since I replaced the original PS2s. I just hope they last as long as the rears. Then I will replace all four with a brand other than Nitto. I have been happy overall with the tires (they ride well, stick like glue and are very quiet) but think 5K is pretty poor.

 

I know the NT555's are a much harder compound than the invo's and give the same amount of traction, thats why i tried them instead of the INVO.

 

Mime are 1 year old too they look perfect, I drove 2500 miles.

 

Maybe my premature wear on the fronts is from torque steer LOL

 

My rear Invo's were toast after only 13K miles.
Fronts still have a bit of tread left, but not much.

Tomorrow I'm getting Sumitomo HTR ZIII's:

Look to be a great tire for the money; $740 mounted and balanced.

 

When I bought the Crossfire (at CarMax), they put on four Nitto Invo's... I assumed these were cheepo tires. Was I wrong? I'm researching them, now.

I have to admit, the tires have been reasonably grippy. The fronts aren't wearing nearly as much as the rear tires. I've got 7,000 miles on them, now.

EDIT: Alright, research complete. These tires seem to be a decent mid-range tire. These the price equivalent of Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season tires. I've read that those F1's produce HORRIBLE road noise... so I may stick with Nitto's when my tires go bald.

Honestly, it may be worth spending the extra $50 to buy Continental ContiTouringContact CW95:

i just put nitto invo's on the read and it's only been a month but so far so good. i went to ntb to get the wheels aligned and they were all out. the guy brought them back in alignment and mentioned somthing about a kit for the rear wheels from mercedes benz but that i didn't need it yet.... implying that i would one day. the front tires are still good but i'm going to put nitto invo's up there when they go too.

 

I have Nitto INVO's on my car and intially loved the tires. they are very sticky tires. However, I drive my car a lot and mine are just over six moths old and my fronts still look very good but my rears are bald and showing cords on the insife edge with some cuping. I took it to the alignment shop and toe was good but camber was way out because of lowering. I just put on the KMAC camber kit and taking it back to the alignment shop tomorrow, I also just put new tires on the rear.

 

How much did you lower it to have that happen? Will the eibach pro springs do this?
