Nitto Invos soft sidewall? - Corvette Forum

Op already complained about v12 soft sidewalls, invo looks to be along that line. For the price and op's purpose, I say try DW. If op can afford it, go with PSS plain and simple.

Not sure where you got that from...

To be fair, the Invo is not a road race tire. If that's what you're looking for, look elsewhere. If you're going to track it, get something else. If you want a street tire that sticks as good or maybe a bit better than a F1 Supercar, absorbs road bumps, is dead quiet, is great in the rain, and doesn't break the bank to buy then get this tire.

I think the OP will be happier with the Invos over the V12s. That said, if he wants to spend more on the PSS, then I think he will be happy with those as well. I would guess the RE11s will give better performance than any of these tires, but at a cost of longevity.
