Default Nitto Invos?

I'm thinking about buying some Nitto Invos. Right now I have the goodyear eagle F1's. I have a lot of wheel spin, even from a 40-50mph roll. Will the invo's help with that? I drive the car every day and want tires that will be good in the rain as well.

The Nitto Invo is a great Ultra High Performance Tire that provides excellent wet and dry grip. There are quite a few guys running them here who will chime in with their experience. I am surprised that you are spinning with your F1's but then again, in looking at your signature, you'll probably be able to get any tire to spin. Let us know if we can help you with your tires. We'd be happy to help you with them.

The Invo are sticky, and grab like crazy. I can't even spin them from a stoplight at WOT! It may be that I went from the Stock 275 tires to the 305 Nitto's. Thay are a big improvement over the Firestone Firehawks SZ250's.

Maybe I should go with a wider tire. I have 285's on a 10 in rim maybe I should go up to 305.
