Default Nitto Invo's 345/30/19 only avail out west.

Just got off the phone w/ distributor. Apparently the 345/30/19 Invo's
are not going to be avail. in the Midwest. The only way to get them is to
ship them u.p.s. from California to the warehouse in Ohio. And according to
the distributor is very exspensive to do that. So with that being said, I
appologize to everyone who has been waiting for E.T.A. of these tires to be
able to purchase them. If we can help you with any other tire availability
Please just P.M. us or call.

Thanks,
Rick

Are you saying it would be more to ship that tire than for any other tire? Seems like shipping a tire is shipping a tire? Could you not purchase them from a shop out there then have them shipped to your house like when you use a tirerack or something similar.

Very interesting. I just had two 335/18 Pilot sports (62 something Lbs Heavy) sent to me by UPS from Texas to Florida. Cost for shipping was 24.99 UPS? UPS is UPS right??

Default The Nitto Invo Saga.....

After finally talking to our distributor I was informed that the warehouse in California is in fact Nittos warehouse and not our distributors. I was always under the assumption when speaking with them that it was the distributors warehouse.So this is what I was told," Nitto does not have any plans to supply any of our warehouses with the 345's. In which the warehouses are located in, Ariz.,Tex.and Oh.When I mentioned that we would just have them shipped directly to our shop from California his response was,they wont do that. So just like most of you, it doesnt make any sense to me that if people want these tires irregardless of where they live we should be able to get them.We are going to look into this a bit more. One would think that the distributor would pick up on something when this guy from Indiana keeps calling about the same damn tires.Like maybe people in the midwest and the east coast do actually have interest or a demand for this product. I guess the world revolves around the west coast.I would like to know who does their market research.With this being said, we will find a way to get these tires.

Default INVOS are junk

Don't waste your time with the INVOS, they are crap. I had them on my CTSV for a week and had to take them off. Sidewall is too soft and the tire tends to track the road due to the wide groves on the inside. Is no fun when you are driving along and the car pulls you to one side due to this stupid groove.
