Good choice.

I am waiting for the release of RE-11 and see how they compare pricewise. One thing the Direzza is better, if you are a cheap skate like me, is symmetric pattern.

nope...as you can see the contact patches are few, far between and big.* NOT good for snow but they gotta be good at the strip/track.

I think I'm getting Nitto Invo's. I've heard/read nothing but good things about them. Those do look like they have a huge contact patch though.

If you're lowered and go Nitto....the NeoGens are specifically designed for lowered cars....might be a good way to go. I had them on my 05 SC for 35K hard miles.

All tires have a certain strength built into them as you know.* I'm not sure of the technical terminology....but some tires just have certain threading or blocks of support in them.* The NeoGen's have extra support across the whole tire.* As lowered cars usually distribute weight to the tires different...those wheels will help for tread wear and a better level stance.* Look on thier site and read about it.* Good tire.

Thanks for the heads-up! The Neo Gens will be $100 or so less/set of 4 than the Invo's. I have spent HOURS searching for the perfect 5x110 wheel and I am back at the ones that inspired me to sell my ADR's in the 1st place!
