sorry but this is wrong. there is no stand treadware rating between companies. each company rates them different so you really cant compare.

personally i was going with the s.drives because they were a little cheaper. however, they were on back order so i picked up the invos. im hoping i can get 15k miles out of my rears otherwise ill try the s.drives.

 

yes I know that there is no standard rating between tire manufacturers. I was merely stating what he requested on his post, he requested info on treadwear between the two models. As for experience, since I had both tires on our evo, I invo's had more grip, and the s drives we had lasted longer. They are both great tires regardless.

 

Thanks for the update Lou, I got my set of yoko s drives from tirerack they have the best prices on these. Now I'm patiently waiting to get my wheels from Volk, damn back orders. LOL

 

sorry for jumping on you lou. appreciate the info. like i said, i might switch to the s.drives depending when my invo's wear out.

 

Lou, which did you prefer for "quietness"? I hate a noisy tire and this would be more important (to me) than treadwear.

 

i know this isn't directed at me, and i have not ridden on s.drives yet, but i know that the Invos are MUCH quiter than my Falkens.

also, i thought the s.drives treadwear was listed at 280, not 300. my falkens are 300, which shows in the hardness of the rubber.

 

actually everything ive seen says invos are a 260 and s.drives are a 300.

 

ah, i must have misread something then. my bad.

 

Yep ,you are right .

 

Yoko S Drives FTW

 

the invo's makes less road noise. I like the hankook ventus evo tires better than the S drives or invo's.
