Nitto vs. Falken - Which one to choose?

Hey everyone.... It's time for me to replace a set of tires, and I was wondering if I could get some opinions about which tire I should choose. Right now, I have Falken FK452's all the way around (245/30/20 in front and 285/25/20 in back) on my E55 and I'd initially thought about getting the same tire to replace them. Anyway, a guy in a tire shop that I went to started telling me about the Nitto INVO and how it's a better tire, for about the same $$$. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the Nitto and if it's a decent tire? I haven't had any problems with the Falkens, but if the Nitto is a better tire, I'm going to go with it. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

I would choose the nitto's over the falkens. I had the invo's on my c63 they gripped very well.

well your in luck, i got Nitto INVO on my 350z. i forget what the front specs are but the back are 245/35/19... they are great in the rain and wet weather. they are a little slippery around the corners when wet weather, but nothing to complain about. they hug the road when its dry out and great around corners. the best part about them is that they are really quite... i would def go with them on your benz.. I had falkens on my old car and hated them..

I've had both sets on my M5 and the only difference I can say is that Nitto does NOT like wet roads, period. Twice I've spun with Nittos (same corner going the same speed) vs. none with the 452's. Nittos are better dry but the 452s are better wet.
