National backorder? I just ordered a set of these today and was told they'd be here by wednesday... is it just for the 275/35/19? you can do the same as the nismo 285/35/19 which is what I ordered and discount tire said they were in stock.

The invos are a decent tire. Low wear, great dry traction. I wouldn't push them in the wet.

Had a set of fronts last for over 50k miles with meat still left when I had them replaced due to camber wear.

So are you going to be running DWS fronts and Invo rears? If so your handling is going to be terribly out of whack.

Invo's are relatively unremarkable tires IMO. Quiet for Nitto's, other than that, generally not noteworthy.

This is not to say they are bad, just not really notable.

I am guessing just the 275/35-19r the web sites (discount tire and tire rack) both say available within 2-3 days but discount tire called me today to tell me the back order news

Yep. It's not like you're going to fly off the road because you don't have premium tires on a $30k car. Just drive normally and you'll be fine. Punching it in fourth on a rainy expressway may not be the best idea.

Tire rack lists them in stock - I would bet they have them.
