    I just bought Nitto Invos, but haven't put them on yet as my new wheels haven't come in. 275/40/20 on the front and 315/35/20 on the rear. Should have them in a couple weeks.

    The Falkens on Tire rack in that size that I'm running now are $912.86 shipped. Summer performance tire. Just looking. I'm not a fan of Nitto their 315 is more like a 295 I had them and they looked small compared to the continentals.

    I haven't used Falken summer tires, however, I did use their all-season tires on my other car. While they performed well, I wasn't happy with the tire wear- only 23,000 miles.

    i had Nitto drag radials for the track, the only problem with those were that I had the heat the crap out of them in the burn out so I could get them to grip on the launch, as my buddy would tell me , I have to do a John Force burnout....... twas the reason I swithced to M&H.

    Jegs has M&H 305-35-20's, but that is an 1" shorter and ~ 1/2" narrower

    (Sorry for straying so far off OP topic :( )

    A friend had Falkens on his 300, he could light them up no problem lots of tire smoke, he replaced them with Nitto Innvo he couldn't crack them loose.
    Not sure which line of Falken they were, that was 8 years ago.

    I’m not going to be burning my Invos with my V6. I bought new wheels from Merrick Motorsports and since he runs the 315s on the same wheels, I knew they would fit without rubbing. I’m still waiting on the wheels to come in. Got my tires, and the Mopar hood pins get installed Tuesday.
