Need help deciding on which brand of tire

Wicked_SVT · 03-25-2009, 03:28 PM

I am looking to get a set of the VMR V715 rims in hyperblack for my space grey 335i. I have narrowed it down to 3 tires which all vary in price. Here they are listed in most expensive to least expensive.

1. Michelin Pilot PS2s
2. Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Poll Positions
3. Nitto INVO's

I don't track my car but do the occasional spirited driving. I am currently leaning torwards the NITTO INVO's because they are a good compromise to the more expensive tires. Has anyone had any experiences with the NITTO's?

What do you guys think?

I had Nitto Terra Grappler 35" All terrains on a lifted GMC Yukon a few years ago and really liked them. On passenger cars, I have no idea.

INVO's are great - we have a few cars here running that exact tire. But don't expect the tire to handle like PS2's as they are in two different categories

i heard nittos are grippy but if you have the money definitely go with ps2 =)

I guess the main question I have then is, will the INVO's perform the same, better, or less than the stock Bridgestone Potenza RFT's.

Most non-RFT will perform better than the stock RFT

I love the PS2's. I just don't know if I would actually drive the car hard enough to justify spending the extra money for that tire. I think as long as the tire is better than the stock runflats, I should be pretty happy.
