Default Thinking about Nitto Invo's for replacement

of my Pirelli's. I can get 4 new tires for the cost of 2 new Pirellis. The Nitto Invo has the same load and speed rating as the Nspec Pirellis. Fabryce at GMG racing had alot of good things to say about the Nitto Invo. In fact they use GMG racing on one of their advertisings.

Any input greatly appreciated. I want to go the 245/305 setup on OEM lobsters

I would think they would work just fine. Just make sure the sizes and load rating is correct. Porsche can not force you to have to buy N rated tires just like they can not force you to use Mobil 1 oil...just as long as the specs are the same.

Everything is identical to the N spec as far as load ratings and speed ratings.

Would like to know more about them as I'll be needing tires in Spring. Can you post/pm a link to the tires and a purchase source, please?

Thanks,

Thanks - I'd been thinking of staying with the 295 rears, but maybe I'll switch to 305. Please post how you like these after you have them for a few miles.
