Toyo T1R or Nitto Invo

I got about 15000 mi. from my Falken Azenis but the inner tread block is shot on all four rims. At the end of the summer I installed my rear camber kit and solved this problem for good!

I wanted some feedback from you guys about which is a stronger purchase. Both seem to have a great track record. And the price point is less than $200 between the two.

Treadlife is not a main concern but I would like to get more than one years use if possible.

Has any one had both tires? Just one and some feedback?

Search on the toyo's here didnt give me the feedback I was looking for.

Thanks fellow A-Ziners!

Have you concidered the General Exclaim or the Kumho Ecsta ASX .. both are less $$ and a harder tread which will give you better life ..

I have had the ASX and was very happy with them. Would have bought again but they don't come in the 19s I need now

Not knocking either brand just looking for something sticky yet will have more than one summer of use.

Any feedback from INVO or T1R owners?

I'm getting the T1R's in the spring everyone I've talked to says they are great for the money. I was running Michelin PS2's last summer and loved them but they are to pricey up here in Canada. Up here the Toyos have a 30 day trial if you don't like them take them back figured I can't go wrong

INVO's all the way. I have had both tires and the Nitto's are a much better tire IMO.

I am currently running the toyo T1R and IMO great tire for the price. I can't comment on the Invo b/c I never ran them.

All I can say is INVO!!!

Great tire.

I drive a lot and like to play in the corners. These are the best bang for the buck tires I've ever had. They are exceptional in the rain and dry. Also, they are not noisy like many others including the more expensive Michelin Pilots.

I have about 12K miles on mine so far so good. Mine are 245/35/19's.

I have Toyo T1R and recommended a few friends on it too. They said it's quieter than the INVO. INVO is good for handling or do tight turns. I had FK452 and then switch to Michelin PS2 on my TL. FK452 is good too. I have T1R on my RL now with 20s and it is holding up pretty well. A little quiet too.

I've ran the Nitto Invos on my enkei rpf1s and they were sticky as hell.

But honestly, people are vouching for their specific tires, Toyos or Nittos because that's all they've tried.

You need to ask someone who has tried both. You're getting feedback from ppl only with experience with one.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Narrowed my search down to the T1R's, RE760's, and the Eagle F1's. Got a little more time to think though PA weather isnt going to break any time soon.

Not sure if it helps, but I have an 07 TL-S and I bought the Eagle F1 A/S for the stock wheels around this time last year and I no longer like them due to lots of road noise. They offer lots more grip compared to the stock tires, but after ~15K miles they are a noisy tire. I've rotated them ever 6K and my car is not used on a track or racing. I'm also having a problem over the past few months where the two on my left side constantly lose air. Every 2-3 weeks I have to put about 10Lb's of air in.
