Default Nitto invo or kdw II for straight line grip?

Lookin for some opinions on the above tires. I'm getting 295/35/18s put on soon and was wondering which ones seem to have better traction in a straight line. Anyone with experience with sited tire please chime in.

Why not NT05's? I have the Invo's and love them, but from what I have been told by a friend who has ran both the NT05's have better dry grip then the Invo's.

Well my buddy runs nt05s and the come with only 7/32 of thread which kinda sucks IMO his hook well but they also only have a 200 tread wear rating which means they'll go down even quicker. One other question I figured Id throw in here. I have 245/45/18 tires up front and the rear tires are going to be 295/35/18 and I have asr does anyone see any issues woth the asr when running a bigger tire up front than in the rear. Btw only reason I'm running that size up front is that the tires up front are michilens and they were free lol.

Well that makes sense. I really like my Invo's and a lot of my friends run them. One has a 500+ RWHP 5th gen and loves them, another has them on his 600+ WHP vette, so I am going to say they are a pretty good tire.
