When I changed the wheels I put on the PS2's and they're great. Our So. FL. frequent summer heavy rains made the MPSC very dicey to deal with. As an alternative I've heard some good things about the new Nitto INVO tire. What have any of you heard or know first hand?

on a serious note,
even though my car is not a daily driver
i don't see any problem as one.
i agree with what others already said above,
you just have to watch out two things- height and tires.

Kirkorca, so I guess the INVO is available in 235/35/19 and 305/30/19. I was not sure about the sizing. Up close they seem to be a good product. They maybe cheaper but if they're good who cares. Nitto is not an unknown in the tire business.

Everyday that God makes!
I already have 16,000+ km (10k miles) since 12 April. That's an about 4,000 km per month and I am in love
Got stuck in traffic for an hour once or twice, my left leg got a bit tired, but it is hardly a reason not to drive this phenomenal car every day.
Best car I have ever driven.

Mine is also my daily driver. I go everywhere with it and just make sure I get a good parking spot. I also use the Pilot Sport Cup tires for the street. Its what makes the car fun and I like the nature of a track tire for the steet on a car like this. I will even replace them with the cups again once they wear out.

I almost never drive mine to work
, but only because work is about 1000 feet away.
It's getting a good workout at autocross every weekend though , 87 miles each way+ course miles. 4000 total miles so far.
I drive the RS or C2S whenever I can and the SL is stuck in the back of the garage most of the time.

Mine's a daily. Still drive on the MPSC's, but also waiting for a set of street wheels with PS2's. I have no issues driving it every day- just have to be alert for low clearance drives and entrances.
8weeks, 4000 miles. Loving every minute of it.
