Shopping for new tires soon as mine are on their last legs. Anyone try Nitto Motivo, and if so, how are they in wet and snowy conditions?

I have them. About 5000 miles so far.

Definitely a little quieter and better riding then the Dunlops (18's) in my opinion. Good in rain and fair in lighter snow. (I have the AWD GTS) They have a great treadwear rating and are made in USA. They were a good value too.

They get their first rotation tomorrow. I like them at this point.

The treadlife was what interested me most, and being made in USA is always a plus. I understand they are a subsidiary of Toyo tires, so hopefully they live up to the performance. Discount wasn't offering the Conti DSW, so the Nitto's seemed a good choice. Glad to hear they ride better then the Dunlops, it will be interesting to see if they wear well and stay in alignment. Now I just have to save my pennies!

I have them as well. Love them!

Picked up the tires yesterday for $964 out the door. Got the replacement warranty with that price plus a $75 rebate, so hope they last the 60k. It is snowing so I'll see how they do!

they are not great with snow, well at least the amount of snow we get here in Canada. I bought winter tires and they work amazing with the AWD.

Just remember to rotate your tires and they should last.

I will be needing tires soon (as in, really soon)
How do you like the Nittos?

So far I like them. Much quieter, and seem to handle quite well. Tried them in snow and they do well for a performance tire.

For those that have replaced their tires with the Nitto Motivo, what size did you use?

235/18 same as oem.
