According to the specs they are very close in diameter and I know people have run bigger tires on the stock rims. I need traction with my new found power. :-)

Invos are way overrated. See: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/comparisons/09q2/tire_test_nine_affordable_summer_tires_take_on_the _michelin_ps2-comparison_tests/nitto_invo_page_4

There are also plenty of users of them that agree.

To answer your question, no. Anyway, this will be the only post I make in this thread - just FYI since I did consider them myself (actually, I was convinced that they were the tire for me for a while, and almost bought them). I went for Continental Extremecontact DW and love them, for the record.

I looked into Nitto's other tires too and I came up with the conclusion that Nitto makes no tires that I'd want on a daily driver... not the Invo, not NT555, not NT05, or anything else. I DID want their tires on a truck I had, but they didn't have the size I needed for that, anyway.

My question is will those dunlops hold 450-500 rwhp? Im not looking for a corner carver tire I'm looking for something to make the power manageable on the street without having to go with drs.

I have them in that size, when they are new they hook pretty well (@ ~360rwhp) but once they are worn its like ice skating. I would go with a NT05 on the rear IMO or the BFG KDW's. Those will be my next tires.

+1 on Invos being over rated...I hate mine, cant wait for them to come off in a week or so.
