i was recently chosen to be in the NITTO Tire program offered by the guys overs at RHINO CUSTOM DETAILING in Huntington beach CA. The owner Alex Lee was kind enough to set me up to test out the Nitto Motivo tires on my 350z

prior to these tires ive used the dunlop direzzas dz101 and the kumho asx all in 255 35 and 275 35 18s on the same set of wheels and car and the Motivo's performance in the dry is actually very comparable to the dunlop direzzas (ill soon find out how they are in the rain in the short time it rains in so cal). the road noise is a bit louder than the kumho and overall im very impressed with the tire.

before trying out the Motivo the only tires i considered buying from Nitto were the NT01s and the NT05s depending on the application, the Motivo is no where near what the other 2 are and i wasnt a big fan of their previous all seasons the NT555 (or as i like to call them NT555lide) but the Motivo i believe is replacing that tire and its a huge improvement over the NT555.

all in all if you are looking for a good high performance all season tire for your daily driver give the Motivo a try, you wont be disappointed!!!

The NT555 is a summer only tire not an All season tire.

I wouldn't use nitto street tires if they were given to me and I was paid to use them. Utter garbage.

I would say the same, but the INVO is a great street tire.
