i know it is up to me in the long run, but i was wondering what everyones opinion on these two are. i do some drag, not a lot, and some really "spirited" curvy road driving i my area and i want to choose between these two tires, the new nitto invo and the falken rt-615. i now run nitto neogens 225/40/18 on my cav. the guy at discount tire told me to go with the new invo, he says that they are grippier than my neogens and that they are the best tire on the market right now for my daily driver as they are about the stickiest you can buy and still have a treadlife, but the falkens are only $2 dollars more per tire. he also said the falkens are almost a track only tire and that they will only last about 15,000 miles whereas the invos are supposed to last 25,000 or 30,000.
give me your opinion or experiences. thanks
also look at the BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW's.
I have them, and have yet to break them loose.

Falken rt-615's are AWESOME. My friend runs them on his SCCA driven Ford Focus, they are WAY better than the BFG KDW's he had on there before. And they were way less expensive.
Not to mention they look awesome.
p.s. the NeoGens are somplete garbage, you don't know what you're missing out on.
he's not looking at neo gens though. he's looking at the new invos.
personally i had good luck with the nitto nt555's that i had. so much so, that i would probably look to nitto for another set of tires.
I know, I just saw that he currently has NeoGens.
The only good Nittos are the NT555, which are pretty decent, the INVO tread design is garbage though, it's ONLY for looks (and they do look pretty awesome), as with the junk Neogens (not so awesome looking, but still interesting). I had a customer just today ask to return them after about two weeks because he crashed his car due to "WAY less grip than his Eagle RS-A's." We couldn't take them back on that basis and we pretty much lost a customer, but there was nothing we could do, I just learned to not sell the INVO's anymore... and instead... lol... offer the RS-A's...
And everyone trashes them on here... at least they're better than something.
I'd go with the RT-615's FTW.
I know I like my Falkens that I have so far. a Very grippy tire! I bought them through Vulcantire.com
