These Nitto Motivo tires are exceptionally perfect. Road grip, wet stability, rock drives, etc. Even better is the 60,000 miles they are rated for. Most other tires will see less than 45k miles before giving up, and that's just ridiculous. If you're wondering whether they will fit your car? They probably will, I got these for a 2018 Mazda 6, and they are beautiful.

These tires are great. Smooth as silk on the road, although if they sit for a ling while they need to warm up, they get flat spots in a few days of sitting but disappear after a couple of miles. I can go on, but just let me say im completely satisfied, and impressed by these literal bargain price performance tires. Id recommend them to anybody. My car is a 1995 Corvette Coupe and these tires make it feel like it should.

These tires are very good handle well under heavy acceleration and cornering... my car isn't the car I remember since I put these tires on.. I highly recommend these tires to those with performance vehicles.. the look good on the car but also hold up to their standard no road noise ... and for the price I think I got a steal for them thanks to simple tire .

Just put these tires on today, on my 05 gt I love how they ride and handle compared to the sumitomo htrs a/s po2 that I had on previously. I will definitely be purchasing these tires again and highly recommend them to those with performance vehicles and without .. Haven't tested them in the snow yet but hopefully will this year. Great price and simpletire excellent customer service and support.. My car responds like a sports car as it should. No tire buckle when going in corners great handling in rain.
