About the Nitto Invo

Ultra High Performance Passenger Car tire Specifically Developed for Staggered Sized Applications Commonly Found on Luxury Sport Performance Vehicles.

Features

* Large reinforced outer shoulder tread blocks* Continuous center rib provides continuous contact with road* Asymmetrical tread pattern and advanced engineering* Large twin circumferential grooves to channel water away for the tire* 3D multiwave sipes

Benefits

* Increase the amount of contact with the road, assisting in dry performance and cornering* Increases the tires rigitity and stability, keeping contact with the road during hard braking and acceleration* Allows for tire rotation and produces an exceptionally quiet tire* Maintains better traction in wet* Solidifies the block to help reduce uneven wearing

Understanding the 235/45ZR17 size

In the size code 235/45R17, 235 is the section width in millimetres (about 9.3"). 45 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 45% of the width, or roughly 105.8 mm. R17 means radial construction on a 17-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 25.3".

The load index 94 means each tire supports up to 1,477 lbs — about 5,908 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol W certifies the tire to 168 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 260 AA A. The treadwear grade of 260 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade AA measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $145.50 per tire, a full set of four costs $582.00. That sits close to the average for the 85 tires we stock in this size.
