i am definitely considering them but i'm just trying to find something new to broadening my knowledge of what works and what doesn't... but then again, dont wanna spend my money on something that doesn't work lol


alright here's my list:


Nitto NT 555
Falken Azenis RT-615
Nitto NT-05
and last but not least BFG KDW2's

I have over 15k on mine right now! still lots of tread left.

I have also hauled some serious ass in some downpours and sticks to the road like glue.

Comparing NT-05's to Eagle GT's are like comparing male vs. female lol one is a awesome Summer tire and one is an awesome All Season. i just gotta decide what i want.. a great wear tire with OK traction, or a tire with awesome traction but doesn't last as long..hmm


Sorry that i'm thinking about a pretty big investment that i have to live with for atleast 15k miles... i think i'm playing it safe by not just jumping the gun and buying crap.

You're making it a bigger deal than it really is! How often do you need traction tires man? You want to spend money like Anthony for traction tires that you'll actually use for traction HOW MANY TIMES aside from everyday driving?

BTW, i can't come out this weekend. I'm broke lol

if u don't have a camber issue don't get the invos...and i'd suggest the nittos, eagle gt's, dunlops or the KDW2's but aren't the kdw's pricey? and nothing against the eagle gt's but how would they grip with the extra stage power? the 555's hold obvicously if scoot can run them from a launch good

invo's, i dont think are the camber adjusting ones.. it's the neogens iirc.

i'm seriously considering the Dunlops and the Nt-05s... or the Falkens... **** idk lol

yes the KDW2's are riduculous but i know they work lol.. i definitely dont wanna spend that much though.
