Anyone running on Nitto Motivo tires?

wvredz · 06-19-2013, 01:27 PM

Hello all! I have a 2009 370z with sport pkg. I think I am having an alignment issue and I have to get new tires for the rear ASAP! I bought the car 6 months ago and it had brand new Kumho Ecsta's on the rear. They are completely gone now. (I know they are a cheap tire not meant to last, before the lectures come!)

I live in West Virginia and my z is my DD. It's been raining A LOT here and these tires are going to get me killed! So my question is, I was looking at the Nitto Motivo's. It is an all season tire with a supposedly good road noise level and it has a 60000 mile limited warranty. They are $263 for the rear size but I have a wholesale account and can them for $210 each. I am NOT looking for the cheapest tires, I want a good tread life and a QUIET ride! Most importantly the QUIET ride! I've read that the car has a lot of cabin noise from the factory but I think what's deafening me are these crappy Kumhos! I want opinions before I get these tires. I will get alignment issue checked out ASAP as well!
I do have a lead-foot and drive "enthusiastically". Thanks in advance!!

I guess no one has tried these? I went ahead and bought them yesterday. I will report back on road noise level and wet performance. If anyone is interested in an all-season tread for the z, these have the best tread wear warranty in the industry for ANY size and speed rating

Hopefully they are as awesome as Nittos usually are!

Hi,
I just bought Nitto Motivo's.....

They are super quiet, and very smooth on my 2011 370Z.

I live in Orange County, CA

Good luck and safe driving !

Good to know. Hopefully OP had the same luck, he hasn't posted since he got the tires back in June.
