Does anyone have Nitto Motivo tires?

I am in the market for new tires, and heard about these Nitto Motivos, and was wondering if anyone has these already on their car and what they thought. please let me know.

thanks in advance
Rob

I'm getting four tomorrow. After months of research, I'm going with the Motivos. I'll post some photos and updates later down the road.

I have the motivos now and they are good tires and a good price and look good I have them on a set of 20" drag wheels, the only thing is they are not the best for auto-x but they are a good street tire

I was thinking about getting the Motivo's, but settled with the Toyo Proxes 4 plus, and the price was right at 168 bucks a piece from tread depot dot com, and the after driving around on them I made the right choice.

Finally got a bit of rain today in central TX so I was able to check out the traction on the Motivos. They handled excellently both in acceleration and breaking.

I've had mine for around 5,000 miles and so far so good. They are pretty quiet, seem to handle ok and the price was good at the time I bought them. I will say if you are doing anything other than using you car as a daily driver then you may not want these as they don't stick to the roads as well as the stock pirellis but for me they've been good enough. They seem to be wearing ok so far, so no major issues there. I will say I've had to slow down some, maybe a few mph or so, going around some of my favorite curves here in the DFW area but overall I can't really complain.

Had the Motivo's on for about two weeks now and I still love them. Very quiet on good roads, which sadly I don't have many of around me.
