Nitto Invo or Nitto NT 555?
I am looking to get a new set of tiers for my C63, I need a little advice I was been looking at both the Nitto Invo's and the NT 555's. My car is a DD and I live in NY so i want a tier that will be decent in the rain. Since I found both sets at a similar price I would just like to get some options on both sets like tread life, noise, and traction in the weather. The size I'm looking at are 245/35-19 and 275/30-19s. Thanks in advance for any information you guys can provide me with.

I had a set of Invo's on my old Lexus IS250 and I was less than impressed. Seems like there is a lot of hype around these tires and that's about it. They lasted me about 22k but that was on a car with all of 215 hp lol. I ended up replacing them with the Hankook Ventus V12s on my Lexus and was much happier. I'd probably consider the V12s when my C63 needs new rubber

I was going to get a set of V12's but everything I have read about them says there eaither realy good or not worth it. I just want a tire that will be good all around and not over priced, like I got to get a set of snows for my 18's so I'm trying not to spend crazy money because both sets need to be replaced. depending on what I can find on the V12's i might just go with them.

I just put Invos on my Shelby, and as far as hooking up, they're stellar. I haven't had them out in the rain yet, but don't worry about insufficient grip with the Invos.
