Flaken FK452 VS Nitto INVO
I am going to be getting new tires soon . I want to do either the falken fk452 ( what I currently have ) or the Nitto INVO. I had the INVO on my G35 right before I sold the car. So I only had a little mileage on them. I am currently rolling on the Falken fk452. I am pretty happy with them . Performance and tire wear is solid. I am tempted by the INVO because of the ultra cool tread pattern like most. I was wondering if you guys have a prference between these two tires. I will admit that the INVOs felt like they had a soft sidewall, but then again my G35 had a track preped, kidney bruising suspension set up. I am assuming the invo were a poor match for the set up I was running.

I spoke to the guy at the wheel shop and he recommended the falken over the nitto. He said that the falken will wear more evenly and wont get as loud when it gets older. I will be honest that theses falkens have lasted longer than any tire I have had on any dropped car I have ever owned. Why mess with a good thing I guess. Thanks for the input guys. I think I am going with the Falken again. ( I will check out some customer reviews on the tire forums)

I got the falkens put a couple of days ago and I am amzed at how quiet the car is now. I am blown away. I am also very impresssed that I was able to get 18K ( and I changed them early) out of a set of tires with my car dropped the way it is and with the car weighing almost 2 tons

Same here, they perform well, ride well and are pretty quiet...I guess. (my car is loud as hell on the inside to start with, lol)

I have the INVO's on my 350Z roadster with Tanabe NF springs. If I had it to do all over again, I'd buy the INVO's again OR I'd upgrade to the Michelin PS2. VERY pleased with the handling, ride, and refinement of the INVO's and would recommend them to anyone especially looking for a lower than top price performance tire.
