you know the kind that goes on the wheelz?

bought a set of nitto invo 245/40/17 for my RSX for this summer season. I've read a ton of reviews and although they're not RT-615s or Bridgestone RE-01Rs, they are quiet, offer great wet/dry traction and should last a decent 12-15k miles. I drive a lot of highway in the summer going on vacations and whatever else, but I still want the car to handle okay

They're an awesome tire though, no doubt.

they're just about shot, honestly, not a bad tire at all, but not the best for handling. these should be a big step up!

Looks like a bad ass tire. It should perform awesome too.

yeah they're a step down from RT615s, but still handle well and do great wet/dry. I drive a lot of highway miles during the summer in dry/wet, more so than driving than racing, etc. They're supposed to do well for all of that, quiet on the highway, and also last a decent amount, unlike rt615s, which will be 8-9k.
