The invos last longer but i've heard of some issues with high speed stability. You won't be happy with anything harder than a 555 on the back after the cam i promise. The ones i traded my friend were useless in first on my T/A which makes a little less power than you will cam only. They were sticky enough to twist my buddies drive shaft in half at the track last weekend.


I'd have to run a 285/40 in the 555, they don't make a 295/35/.

They are good. The tread makes a fair amount of road noise but its a good tire.

If I can't find an aftermarket set I want I'm pretty sure thats the direction I'm going to go.

I had V12s on my CCWs. They were fine as a daily driven tire but they didn't hook for shit. Both vettes have XSpower V2 headers. They've corrected the issues the V2 had with a V3 set they just released. I believe their is a group buy on corvetteforum right now for them.

the kdws are pretty good but like fmx said, people have had road noise complaints, but i never noticed it myself. Even though this is for a DD, look into star specs, and rs3's. Im running rs3's v2 on my car since they were for my track setup, but for the last 3k miles of dd and about 3 track days, they still look decent.

Neither offer the size I want, and with how much I drive the car I really need a better tread life.

ah, then yea your best bet are super sports. Never had them on any of my cars, but my dads vipers all have em. Once heated they grip fairly well.
