I have Nitto Invos. If you do get them, go 235 instead of 45.

GREAT handling and performance tire (for the price you pay, i think 130 a tire shipped at discounttiredirect) i can actually almost keep second gear floored (almost guys) and not roast my tires to shreds with these. Great tires IMHO. Hope this helps...
Oh and great in rain too!

I put the hurt on my evo 12 at willow springs....still have tread but defintely tore it up with gms1.

Decided to pass on the DWS and go with Potenza RE760s. 773.00 installed at Costco which includes mount, balance, lifetime rotations and nitrogen, full replacement road hazard (same as Discounts certificates of free replacement that you have to pay extra for). If I don't get the mileage I want out of these, will probably go with DWS next time, but at this price I had to try them.

For comparison, Discount's "out the door" price online is 829.94, and then you're looking at another 100 bucks for mount and balance. (80 if you're pre-07, no TPMS)

Should get them on this weekend, and I'll post up some first impressions next week for anyone interested. I'm sure most of us here take our tire purchases quite seriously.
