If you're looking for an ultra-high performance tire cleverly disguised as an all season,
then the Nitto Motivo might just be the option for you.
The Motivo here will balance all-weather performance and grip with a nearly 60,000 mile lifespan,
making them perfect for the Mustang owners who drive their car hard all year long and
don't wanna sacrifice handling or traction for four season use.
Now the Nitto will be available in 17, 18, 19 and 20 inch diameters, along with section
widths ranging from 215 on the smaller side, all the way down to the big boy here the 315
on the wider end.
Pricing obviously will depend on your sizing but you're gonna be spending anywhere between
100 bucks to just over 200 bucks per tire.
Now my opinion, Nitto really is known best for their performance tire offerings such
as the triple 5, the Invo of course and the Nt05 lineup, along with a rather stout selection
of off-road options to boot.
Now the Motivo that we have here again is still a relatively young tire in Nitto's lineup
and was developed over the course of four plus years to give owners an all season tire
that can still perform, and that really is the best way to sum up the Motivo here.
But with all that said, there is a lot going on with the tread design here of the Motivo,
so let's get into that a little bit further.
This bad boy does feature an asymmetrical design, so that's gonna give you some flexibility
with rotating the tire, however it does have a set inner and outer portion, meaning very
important when it comes time to mount these things up to your favorite set of wheels.
Now the tire itself does have these two large inner blocks working with the large center
rib here and that's gonna help give this thing it's dry performance, dry handling in addition
to some straight line stability.
Now one thing I think is very cool that these two very small little portions here on the
inner and outer shoulder.
Those are actually alignment indicators and that's something Nitto incorporated into this
tire to basically give you guys an indication if this thing is wearing properly.
Now that's a good way to give you a heads up.
If it's not wearing properly one side might be a bit lower than the other and at that
point you can check your tow, check your camber things like that, make sure your alignment
is in check, and ultimately that will help this tire achieve its advertised 60,000 mile
lifespan, which is very impressive for an all season tire that gives you this kind of
performance.
But as you guys know all-season tires are about more than just nice sunny weather days,
they also need to do their job in the cold and wet type of scenarios.
Now that's where these five circumferential grooves are going to come into play.
This is a 315 so, on some of the narrower sizing, you're only going to see four.
You're also getting an abundance of siping here with the Nitto.
And they've actually incorporated what they like to call their 3D multiwave sipes which
again will allow for wet weather traction in addition to the high silica compound here.
But it's also gonna allow these tread blocks to kind of lock together when accelerating
or cornering hard, giving you even better traction.
But going to the UTQG numbers, you're gonna find the Motivo delivers a tread wear number
of 560, which will indicate a little bit more of a lifespan compared to some of your other
softer tires within the category.
Now traction and temp grade will both be a single A respectively.
And talking about reviews here with the Motivo, guys, very favorable on the site in addition
to some other resources as well.
A lot of guys report back saying the handling is crisp, its responsive, traction is great
year-round and even in the snow, according to one three valve owner.
And best of all it's gonna do all of that while being very quiet on the road and the
highway.
But also keep in mind here guys, that the Nitto Motivo is available in a number of our
pre-configured wheel and tire packages which by the way are guaranteed to fit your ride
without rubbing, in addition to taking advantage of free mounting and balancing, your optional
TPMS install and your optional nitrogen fill.
Best of all, they ship to your door absolutely free of charge.
So if you're the type of Mustang owner who likes to drive their car hard all year long
despite the conditions but you don't wanna sacrifice when it comes to handling, performance
or traction, the Nitto Motivo will certainly be worth a look and you can grab your set
