seeking New Tire guidance please

Do I go with the well known Pirelli P1 or the Nitto INVO that I am also getting recommended by 2 wheel suppliers? Need your help!

BTW (I posted over on your other thread), I am getting the Nitto NT05s for $1,332 + mounting at my local shop (who is not a vendor on this board). That is a good $500 cheaper than my Toyo R888s cost.

I think Don@TireOption can get you the Invo's cheap. I paid ~$1,350 for my Invo's OUT THE DOOR at a local Discount Tire last year, and will look into Don for my next set.

The Invo's have a good following and the Pirelli's not so much as they don't put the Vipers power down as well. I would not hesitate to do the Invo's if you don't want to spend the $ on the PS2's which may be the better overall choice since they were designed for the Viper originally.

Call Jon B at PartsRack he gave me a great price on my PS2's.That's the tire most would choose.

go with the PS2 if your looking for the best tire
go with the INVO if your looking for the best price


what is a pirelli P1 ? i dont see it on the website.

 

[Malu59RT]

Cornering = PS2
Straight Line Traction = Invo

 

[Mopar Boy]

Had Pirelli up until last spring. Will never go back now that I have seen what a PS2 is about!

The Pirelli gets "chunked" to death on the track (road course), PS2s are king.

How much is your car worth? How much is your life worth. In a high performance car like the Viper do not get cheap with tires.

WhatSoCal Stated.......

In actuality, the tires that save you $200-$250 per SET to buy, end up costing you more than PS-2s per MILE.... the PS2 last a few thousand miles longer, dont chunk-out on bad roads, and can be rotated side-to-side without the expense and time of dismounting. And if you get caught in rain, PS-2 just floor it...... the others make you go hide under a bridge.

first question.

what are you DOING with these tires?

drag racing?

street?

roadracing?

garage queen?

 

[Jersey Jeff]

street only

 

[RobZilla]

Toyo R888 will be my next tire.

 

[Achilles99]

Invo's are terrible on the track. I compared them back to back with the PS2's, there is no comparison. However, I found it was cheaper to stick with the Invo's on the street and bought a second set of wheels/R888's for the track. At least I tell myself it's cheaper

 

[Darbgnik]

I was positively amazed at the amount of grip available from the PS2's on an extremely wet racetrack(roadcourse).

Absolutely awesome wet tire.

With the contact patch of 4 tires being the only thing keeping you "stuck" to the road - get the PS2's.

Most issues come with folks - even experienced folks - getting a little aggressive in the corners. You should want all the lateral stick you can get your hands on.
