Looking to get these soon. Anyone have them or have any information?

I'm interested as well, could these be a better choice over the invos?

OmniCamaro · 02-10-2012, 09:39 PM

All I know is that they will last much longer. I just hope the performance is on par.

I too saw these and am wondering if they are any good. Have yet to find any reviews.

RedRyder · 02-17-2012, 09:05 AM

Well Nitto seems to think highly of them. On their super accurate bar graph of dry performance, both the invo and motivo get 4/5 but they rate the invo as having "AA" traction while the motivo has only "A" traction. A 60,000 mile tread warranty is very impressive if they perform well though.

Edit: Realized that's the UTQG traction rating which upon further investigation is found using the tire's straight line wet coefficient of traction as the tire skids across wet asphalt and wet concrete test surfaces.

So it's not really dry performance I guess.

On their website the widest the make for this tire is a 275 only.

It would've been great if they had more size options.

It looks like its a good all around tire.

With lower traction/temperature ratings of A (vs AA for the Invo), performance will NOT be on par with the Invo... unless you your idea of performance is different than most....

GoldCartridgeGamer · 02-17-2012, 11:51 AM

I myself am looking for something better than the P-Zero's as well as something that can be used on a daily driver (dry, wet, hot, cold). I never drive when roads are icey and if it snows here it never sticks. If the snow does stick it turns into ice here. So would these be a great option for me or something else? I've never had any traction issues on my P-Zero's when it got below 40 or even below 30, but the car did ride a lot rougher and stiffer.

That rating is measured by sliding on wet surfaces so it's not exactly an indication of dry performance.

I get that. I was in the industry for 20 years. But it is a direct correlation. The longer the tire life the "harder" the compound and less overall traction the tire will have. It is a compromise that has to be made in the silica/rubber compound to achieve higher mileages...

If there were no difference in traction/temperature performance there wouldn't be 2 different traction and temperature ratings....

Bump, wondering if these are worth it or I should look at other options.

I think these are very new to the market and is why we can't find any outside info on them just yet. Hopefully someone somewhere puts up some info we can all use.

i ordered my nitto invo tires today. the total price was $510 for the back 2 tires. hope they are good tires.

Anybody trying the Nitto Motivo's yet? On the wall about these...

I may be the guinea pig here as soon as I sell my existing P-Zero's and LS wheel tire set.
