I wouldn't say the invo's are any better in the wet.

^^^^oh big call! I thought I read people think the invos have good wet weather performance. Maybe not then.

I like invo

[masda74]

I agree with Aaron. I won't go back. It is like night and day between the ATR Sport 2 an the Invo's when driving in the wet.

With the ATR sport 2, I had to baby it in the wet. I DROVE LIKE A NANA.

:'(

I think the INVO's are good value, most probably because I don't know any better. I have not used anything else besides the Dunlop's that came on the car, the ATR Sport 2 and the Nitto Invo's.

What do you use on your car?

[kjoy064]

I don't mind the Invo's, however the lasting of them may be questionable but I didn't buy them for longevity. A tyre lasts as long as it lasts but the way I drive the car, so as for the bike where I barely get 4000-5000km's from a rear.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I've lost faith in the Invo's after having a front fail the shoulder with minimal KM's on it. Good rear tyre to half life but there are other options out there.

...where I barely get 4000-5000km's from a rear.

that's 8 weeks of driving for me....stuff that!

My goodyears still have heaps of tread and nearly done 20,000kms...although very expensive. Grip has definitely diminished though.

Changing tyres so often would drive me nuts.

It's only 3 months for me on a bike, I don't commute much on my bike.

[Lennox]

I only do like 300 km a month now. Might go some fancy track tyres next time. Doing my best to burn out the nankangs but they are indestructible. Had em 2 years now still look like new even after a night of powerskids...
