Invo vs Vred tire weights?

Anyone have the tire weights for those 2 tires in the following sizes? I can't seem to find them anywhere. I need a new set but don't want to pay PS2 prices nor do I want a heavy beast like the AD08's or RE-11's. I looked at the Conti 3's but they seem to be the same price as PS2. Thanks a million!

Try emailing Nitto for their tire weights. My 285/30/19 Invo is right at 27lbs, not the lightest. The 255/35/19 fronts were just at 26lbs.

I disagree with you, I find them as good or if not better than the Contis that came with the car. I feel they have outstanding grip, the front need a few more lbs of psi. to firm up the sidewall and they seem to work just fine. Would I track with them..no, but I wouldn't track a car with PS2s either. I've done quite a few canyon blasts in my car and was actually impressed with them after they had a few miles on them. New they were down right scary at speed but now after a few thousand miles they seemed to have firmed up quite a bit.

PS2's can handle their own on track the Invos heat up and than turn into crap and roll on themselves really bad

I ripped chunks out of them on one day out

I've seen PS2s get torn up pretty bad on the track as well when pushed to hard and if I had a choice which I would rather track a PS2 or a Invo I would choose the PS2. For the street in which one is just doing some spirited driving and just a few hot laps the Invos are fine in my eyes. The issue for me is 99% of the people on this board will never see the track in their M3s. If I were to track an M3 I would be moving on to a Nitto NT05 or a Toyo R888s.

NT05 on the other hand is an amazing tire. I loved it on track for a mixed set. Just don't put them in the rain its a scary feeling.

Invos on the street are compliant but for all the cruisers on the board they are really noisy from the road and it's very apparent

I find my Invos to be very quiet, unless pushed real hard then they squeal pretty good..and where did they can chunk as they are nearly a slick on the outside. I know some people who have tracked their Invos with a ZO6 Vette and ran almost identical lap times to his PS2s. He had to play around with the tire pressure and he did mention that they squealed pretty good when pushed as well. It was upon his experience that I bought these. For the money they really are a pretty good tire. Like I said if I was a track junkie I would get a set of track wheels and run the NT05s or the Toyo R888s.

I've read many bad reports on the INVO's on many boards. The NT05's get pretty much universal praise.
I'd get the Vreds. They hold up well on the track and seem to be lasting very well compared to the PS2's.
