Nitto Invos Launch traction?
Anyone test these Invos tires at the track or for street launching on the Larger AMG sedans?

I've seen a couple of C32s running them, with good results.

I love my Toyo T1Rs - I pulled a 1.67 short time out of them last trip to US41.

those tires seem to be priced pretty well also. I got a quote for $1050 or so installed in 285/30-19 and 255/35-19.

1.67 is really Sick short time! Tr1 Proxes have been proven to be a good 60ft street tire.

From what I have seen recently on the Viper, Vette and BMW forums ,, the Invo seems to have some really strong short times too. Maybe even better or at least well liked by the cars that predominatly run 1/4 mile times. Of course we need more than that one aspect for our AMG`s but would be nice to see feedback on the 60ft.

new balance
Personlly I can only run one tire and get traction, a true drag radial and it has to be on a properly prepped track for it to be effective. On the street I can still spin a DR.
