Nitto Motivo Tire's

I've been contemplating Nitto Motivo tires for the next go-round. Been using Bridgestone Serenity Plus for several sets, they are great all around tires, just not performance tires. I would like a set of performance tires that actually last a little while but give great grip in accelerated corners. I see that many of the ultra high performers don't have any mileage warranty, which leads me to believe you're getting maybe 25-30k out of them with spirited use. I just want to be above 35-40k with 3/32's left. I see these Nittos offer up to 60k. I also know that tires that offer high mileage warranty are typically stiffer rubber, and not quite the best performers when pushed to extreme, but these appear to get great ratings and reviews. So it almost seems like best of both worlds.

Anyone here with experience with these Nitto Motivo tread? Any insight is much appreciated!

No experience with the Nittos ...

I've become a fan of the Nankang AS-1 or the Nankang NS-25.

hey man. I had an 08 max SE. I tried some NITTO tires and returned them the next day for the michelin primacy. I hated the NITTO tire. That was back in 2009 or 2010 so i'm sure they've changed quite a bit. The first think I look for in a tire is quietness and softness of the ride. Our driving styles might be different. I have heard the newer General Altimax RT43 is great tire with amazing acoustic refinement (super quiet). I want another set of primacys for my 2017 MAX but a set is $1,100 all in and the Generals are like $768 all in. hope this helps.
