Default Toyo Tires-Nitto

Hi all
Does anyone have an opinion of the "Nitto-Toyo tires"
Motivo all season performance tires
I just bought an '05z and it needs tires...got a quote here in Vanc. canada form "Kal Tire"...suggesting that these would be best....?
I would appreciate any input regarding best all season radial tires...
Cheers

Suggest you look at Hankook Ventus ES H105.This is a ultra hp all season.
I found it to be an excellent all season tire.However,in snow conditions as you
have in your area,a high perf.tire is gonna give you marginal performance.I've not had personal experience with the Nitto's
you mentioned.Other Nitto's I'm familiar with tended to be noisy
which is a problem for me.

Both Nitto and Toyo have some good tires that mmay suit your needs. Be a little more specific on what model you are thinking about, and your driving conditions.

Do not buy Nitto tires from Kal Tire in Canada!!! They are the sole distributor of Nitto up here and they will bend you over and force you to take it dry.

If you don't know what I mean look online at the price difference between US retailers and Kal-Tire ... its about double the price for certain models. And reputable US retailers won't ship Nitto up north because it violates their agreement with Nitto.

I had Nitto Invo's and I liked them but I have the Hankook V12's now and I would say they are better in most ways than the Invo.

I don't know much about all season tires, I'd recommend getting a set of summer performance tires and another set of winter/snow tires if you plan on driving your Z in the winter.

Loved my Hankook Ventus V12s with the exception of the sidewall softness. Good advice though, that way you can enjoy the added grip and performance of a summer tire.
