I'm not really sure what you're saying. You swapped out your Michilen PS2's for Nitto Invo's. Are you trying to sell your Michelin's?

Ohh. So you're gonna run Nitto's on the front, and Michelin's on the rear? I personally don't like to have mix-matched treads and tires. But if you don't care and want to run 2 different brands then by all means! Michelin Pilot Sports are good tires! I've heard good reviews out of the Nitto Invo's as well!

I test and sell tires for a living.... so of course when its your profession its never a simple answer! I don't know the INVO tire, but am very familiar with the Michelin. I assume the NITTO is a SUMMER rubber. If its a summer rubber than no issue. . . . almost all summer tires are W and Y rated and 1 speed rating (assuming worst) apart with same tread type shouldn't hurt anything. However, if the NITTO is M+S (all season), even with the same speed rating its a big no no.

So summer and summer, matching tires on each axel you are good to go!
