I voted for the Invos.
I have bridgestone RE760 sports right now and they are just ok. My pirelli p6 ALL SEASONS i found were better, ride quality and performance
Apparently the invos have a really good ride comfort and still have some performance.

So far the only thing determined was - DO NOT get the Sumitomos, other than that you haven't narrowed your search at all.

Thanks everyone for the feedback it is obvious that most of the votes are leaning between the Hankook and Falkens. The price on the Hankook is great especially with the rebate. I will wait for more days and monitor the polls. Is there a way for me to modify the original post?

One question, if I go with the rears 285/30R19, do I still need the 12mm spacers to flash the wheels with the fenders?

Lots of people here seem to roll on the General Exclaims.

None of the above was not listed. That would be my vote. Instead, slap on 4 Michelin sport pilots or sport pilot a/s and you will be happy ever after.

None of the above, Michelin Pilot Sports. The best cars deserve the best tires...

PS2 are great tires (especially in wet) but are a fortune and don't last very long. They are definitely among the best choices for buyers with no budget.

Anyone knows the answer to this question? Thanks

If I go with the rears 285/30R19, do I still need the 12mm spacers to flash the wheels with the fenders? Using M5 M166

OEM M5 166s with M5 offsets, yes you will still need spacers. even though its a wider tire, the wheel will still be in the same placement because of its offset. Id suggest though sticking to recommended sizes 275 in the rear though.
