How right you are. Invicta's do suck. I replaced them on my 97 DAK CC
SLT+ 318 3.92 with Firehawk P/235 60R15, SS-10 M&S. I couln't believe
they had such underated tires on such a performance truck. You can hook
these tires up with such luck, you can launch off the line. My wife
says since we got the DAK my attitude changes at stop lights, my eyes
glaze over, I get competitive, and I want to show all the Chevy's (dads
choice) that they can't compete. It's true... I will never regret my
choice of truck. Watching Twister and seeing what the RAM will do, it
wasn't hard to decide on DAK. Can't wait to run from the twister, and
launch through A house if one happens to roll into the road.
