Realising I have a free Saturday to tackle a few jobs on my car finally. Nothing exciting just maintenance items. Have spent too much time working on other people's crap lately!

Bought 4x Invos for Racewars

Drove car 15,000km

Now need new rear Invos

They still hold WOT in the dry...but they are kind of a slick now.

What do you mean hold wot.. even in first?

I *think* I'm not spooling like I used to, let alone an FG with the smaller turbo, so yeah.

Went with some Michelin Pilot Sport 3, on special for $250each fitted and balanced. CBF chasing other tyre joints and didn't have to take time off work since it was right near the airport where I was today, so see how these go.

My Invos in the front are still good, little bit of feathering on the outside and a bit more on the inside but tyre shop guy was fine with them. I'm running 40psi in them but they've seen the odd hard corner and high speed stop so fairly happy.

Didn't rotate them (or are you running staggered)?

Tread on mine lasted pretty well, but they were seemed to lose a fair bit of traction while there was still tread on them.

Mine are excatly the same. Been running 40psi and last weeks check I drop it to 38psi because of inner and outter edge. Did the same with the rear.

Invos get better as they get lesser amounts of grip

One of the fastest true street tyred falcons used these in the 255x18 combo iirc for a 10.8@132mph with a sub 1.8 60ft around the 30psi and very low tread pattern so they hook like a whore as far as a true street tyre is concerned

Most people complain about the first 1000kms as skating and low grip then they just get better and better as they wear

Key sucky part is yeh they wear fast as they are nice and soft but having your cake and eating it this is about as good as it gets really especially for the $$$

I've noticed commos run 40 series 19's from the factory, are we legally aloud to run that profile?

I've also noticed my wider rears are always a smaller profile like 35 front and 30 rear, why is that? Is it coz the extra width actually makes the tyre taller? Coz I'd really like to go 245 40 fronts and 265 40 rears. That rear size does seem particularly hard to come by though.

Wrong thread but since were on the topic of tyres....

Thinking about it my fronts have always had a little stretch so is it actually a case of the 35 being smaller so 30 rear to match? Me no understando
