Nitto Motivo -- Followup

A number of members have posted they were/are using the Motivo mid last year. I cant find any follow-ups For those that have used the Motivo - If you have them:
How do you like it?
Type of driving?
Conditions?
Any regrets?

Deciding between Invo or the Motivo. Obvious price and wear difference (not that its a big factor - 31/2 years and 28000 miles only) - Garage queen, some light spirited driving, never been to track, but may do once for giggles. I will be purchasing TSW Nurburgring 10x20 +35 offset rear and 9x20 +35 offset fronts
Want to go 315 rear, and 275 front -- i may actually use my rear P-zeros on front..any issues with that?

Cheers all...

I have about 2,000 miles on them and they are great all season tires. They held up really well in the snow (1-2 inches) never got stuck. Lose some grip but then again thats expected and no regrets. I only use these for the winter though. If I were you seeing that you're from Florida I'd stick with Invos as they are summer tires with better grip and seeing that upped the power the Invo will put the power down better than the Motivo

I replaced the P-Zeros early on with the Motivos in stock size because I wanted a performance all season and I have complaints at all.

The tires perform very well in all conditions. I pretty much drive the shit out of the car and I have never had a scenario where I thought they were loosing grip in the dry. We have also had a lot of rain around here in the last few months and even some snow and ice. I am truly amazed at how well they stick in the wet.

They are great tires and for the street I can't see spending the extra money on Invos when you get the same grip on the street for less with more less tire wear.
