Huh?

Tell them to call Manny at Baker Nissan in Houston if they have any doubts.

Hey Tracie, are you quotin the Super Deep Concave f14? I think with the 19"x9.5" deep concave up front and 19"x10.5" SDC in back, you should be looking at ~$1700.

Oh yeah, those are 22-24 lbs. each. Not too shabby for a cast wheel.

Interesting sales speak for the forgestar "flow form cast" wheel:


"Flow Form Casting is a production procedure that turns the wheel (or rim section) over a special mandrel and three hydraulic rollers using tremendous pressure. The pressure and turning then force the rim area to form against the mandrel, creating the shape and width of the rim. During Flow Forming, the rim actually "flows" down to create the full rim width. During Flow Forming, pressure applied to the cast rim actually changes its mechanical properties, so its strength and impact values become similar to those of a forged rim. That translates to up to 15% less weight when compared to a standard cast wheel."

I think my Invos perform better in wet weather

You'll never hear a dealer say that - they tried to tell me numerous times that I should get 20K+ on them I know better than to believe that of course, but I was certainly surprised when I was in for my 2nd oil change at 8K miles and they were telling me they couldn't legally let me drive off the lot with my tires in their current condition (2/32nds). They proceeded to quote $400 per rear tire and I laughed and drove away for the last time. I got the Invos same day in stock at Discount Tire and haven't looked back since.

My wife DD the Z from Mar 2011 to July 2012 and I have to believe that any tire she can't get more than 10K highway miles on is useless. Maybe it's a good track tire, but in that case it shouldn't be on our DD and imho shouldn't be an oem tire on a car without an oil cooler I wish I had driven the car more in 2011 so I could better comment on the RE050's performance qualities.

I can't say anything for Nitto as a company except that my experience with the Invos has been stellar. I'm very pleased at the performance for the cost. Cost is the primary reason I did not go with PSS or RE11, and because I wanted those in 305s, which of course isn't a fair comparison. But even similar sized DWs couldn't quite compete costwise - though I am very interested to try them. I would rank the RE050 way below the any tire named in your post even before you factor in their cost value, which then makes it even worse imo.

I'm sorry to hear you say your not a fan only because my experience has been so positive. However, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and there are certainly plenty of tire choices out there to avoid those you don't like. Frankly, Yokohama tires have a bad connotation in my mind. I've never driven any enough to form an informed opinion, but I just don't think I'll ever buy any. As I don't have knowledgeable experience, I'll never speak negatively about them, but I will say that I don't like them

I almost bought a full set of RE11s from a guy on the forum. Alas... I didn't have a vehicle to haul them while my wife was out of town

that harsh, huh? I'm still a fan ... I guess I'm biased cause he's a local boy

I have to say I enjoyed watching Lance win all those stages. I don't really care that he doped. Steroids made both cycling and baseball entertaining enough for me to tune in for a few years - I don't watch either anymore. I don't care that they took his wins away - he fvcking cheated. Let him continue to run his own charity that does a lot of good for a lot of people. I believe Lance accomplished more in his lifetime by using steroids than he possibly could have without them. And I'm not talking about cycling records and awards.
