Review: Nitto Motivo

First off I'd like to thank Nitto and Shaun at Cie Studios for giving me the opportunity to test out these tires.

I purchased new Wedssport SA-55m rims to mount these tires on. I had the tires filled with nitrogen so the tire pressure would not change under hot or cold temperatures. The tires look and feel like they are made from good quality and also they are made in USA. (which I did not know until I saw the tires)

Cornering - I saw a big improvement in cornering, also running 245/40R19 tires in the front helped from the stock 225/50r18 (Dunlop SP Sport Maxx A1-A A/S ), the tires have a soft feel to it but not too soft were they will wear out soon, also they have a 60k mile warranty. I drove around the the canyon side and the tires really grip the road, the turns that I drove at 50 mph before on I was easily going 65 mph with the new Nitto Motivo. They definely provide better traction and a better feel of the road.The tires have a Y speed rating which is safe until 186 mph, if I ever decide to drive that fast.

Comfort- Going from a factory 50 profile tire (225/50r18 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx A1-A A/S ) to a lower 40 profile tire (245/40R19 Nitto Motivo) I did not get a rough ride, still feels very comfortable.
I'm writing this review at 2am that is how excited I am about these awesome tires!

I will post some new pictures up soon

Good review. I've heard these tires are pretty solid.

Keep us updated on how they hold up.
