Default Tire Hook ups...??

So who now (Houston area) has the hook up for some tires? I know someone had posted in the past that he works at Discount off 45 north. I'm looking at some Nitto Invos or Michilen PS2's... I have some pricing but would rather do business with the locals. PM me if you can help out. Thanks...!

For the money I'd get INVO's. You can't beat the price and they hook pretty damn good on Matt's car. I have PS2's on the Porsche but they cost an arm and leg (but they do hook like a SOB, but then again I am AWD )

Thanks for the help and the PM's...I'm looking for some 345/30/19's right now. It looks like I'll be trying to get a hook up on the INVO's from everything I've read.

I've heard just the opposite from all the guys running some of the loudest OEM run-flats on the market today...The biggest prop they give this tire is how quite it is compared to the Goodyear EMT's on the Z06's...

True, but they were loud as hell on that one infinity that we put them on at work. Maybe they are quieter than the OE run flats, as Ive never experienced those.
