Hey guys I need some help deciding on a new set of front tyres.

I have had nitto invos on front and rear and they have been fantastic with 350rwkw. I have new invos sitting in the garage but it just seems like a wast putting them on the front.

Has anyone tried nitto nt555's or got anything else in mind?

Size is 245/40 r18

Thanks for your help!

A very quiet tire with great performance is the Firestone Firehawk TZ1...I rate them better for the front than a Invo and only just down on rear grip performance.

Can you maintain traction under WOT with 350kw and 245 tyres?

Launch isn't perfect which is expected but say I'm doing 80 Kay's and it goes to 100 I can put it in second and it grips... Alot of fun haha

Yes, 235 will be ok on the front as long as load rating is 93 or above. These new tyres it is.

Save the good tyres for the rear.

Try these for the front.

Thanks for that Aaron.

So I wouldn't really have any steering issues or real traction loss with them on the front? Cause the invos were great on the front but like you said leave the good ones for the rear.

I haven't had invo's on the front but I have ATR 2's on the front at the moment and the car generally oversteers before understeering. They're quiet, long lasting and cheap. A great all round front tyre.

Looking at about $100 a tyre cheaper than invo's and will last 2 to 3 times as long

Well I have the new achilles atr2's on the front now and had the car all aligned after a not so good experience at wa suspension but we wont go there...

They feel pretty good so far. I have all new super pro bushes put in with a 27mm adjustable sway bar and the car is alot more comfortable to drive now and corners sooooo much better haha.

The new invos seem to be struggling more then previous sets on the rear though =/ Only had them on for about 500km so far though.
