Nitto Launches its Latest Ultra High-Performance Tire

Leading a new wave of innovation, the INVO is Nitto’s new flagship ultra-high performance tire. Developed using the latest technology, the INVO’s revolutionary tread design offers the perfect balance between art and engineering. The INVO provides a quiet and comfortable ride while maintaining the ability to provide tremendous traction in both dry and wet conditions. The asymmetrical, non-directional, tread design with twin water-dispersion grooves and lateral slits effectively provide wet traction while the silica-reinforced tread blocks deliver superior lateral and longitudinal grip in dry conditions. The asymmetrical tread pattern also gives the owner the ability to rotate tires on staggered fitments.

that tread pattern is really strange - I wonder how much it is really based on performance, and how much on being able to market it because it looks different?

Correction, should read:

I'm curious to know the treadwear rating also. I looked on their site as well as doing a google search and I come up with nothing. I suspect it's somewhere around 140-180.

Looks like it wants to be a slick, then wants to be a water tire...
