New Nitto Motivo Tires

I just received a set of Nitto Motive tires. Reviews look great on these and they are almost half the price of the Michelin Pilot Sport AS+I currently have on the car. I can't wait to have them mounted and take them for a spin.

You have a few pending tasks:
-Tell us how much you paid
-Show us the car when mounted
- Review the tires in wet/dry and mixed conditions, sidewall strength and maybe another update in the future with durability.

These are GREAT Tires....

I got a set for FREE from the Motivo post on this forum last year...

Pretty awesome, 4 free tires shipped out 6 months after I made the request that I would be interested...

VERY quiet.. Soft rubber, much more soft than stock contis....

But still decent grip and performance off the line... and the wet weather handling is excellent as well compared to stock...

I will be getting these tires again next time...

+ they have a 60,000 mile warranty!

I have only driven 85 miles on them so far, but I am beyond impressed. The tires are EXTREMELY quiet, provide a smooth ride, and have great wet traction. You always read info regarding tires and assume it's just hype. Not True here! I drove home from the tire shop in heavy rain, and the car felt steady on the road. If anyone has ever been in Florida during the summer, you know what the afternoon rains are like. You can't see 20 feet in fron of your car and the roads are filled with standing water. The tires handled it fantastically.

Today, I had the opportunity to do a little spirited driving on the way to a car meet. My buddy was following me in his Roush 540 Mustang. We played a little when we cleared all the traffic. There was no question he would destroy me on a straight- I'm not a *** idiot. I pulled from him on the offramp and felt how well the tires gripped. Very nice! When we got to the show- he said he couldn't believe how "that little Mercedes" took the corners.
