Default Nitto Invo The best over all street tire?

So, I was browsing Tires because I may go to the track and either burn through the tires I got now or blow my Diff up, Dunno yet. It'll be fun to find out. As I was my browsing I notice Nitto's website was very interactive and used a scale to gauge how well their tires perform and Compared the street tires. In almost all category the Invo was on top. Even wet/dry performance. So are these the best overall Comfortable/sound/wet/dry. Anyone test these.

I may get some NT05 or NT05R when these tires are done. I know Nitto may not be the best but with in the Nitto family what are the best street tires or Comps?

The Invo has great grip in the rain. Since it's non-directional, it can be rotated fully, and they are very sticky tires. Maybe not the best if you want the tires that last for 100k miles, but they're great street tires for cars that don't always see optimal conditions (where slicks excel).

I had them on my Z06. I loved them. Never had an all around tire that I liked as much as Invos.

I wish they made Invos in a 255/50/16. In regards to rain I wonder why people get different results though, have a friend that has them on his Vue Redline, he was surprised as it hydroplaned on him.

How well does your car hook on the street with those tires?
