Nitto Motivo tires?

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...0&rd=18&cs=225

About to pull the trigger and buy these. Wondering if anyone has tried these Nitto Motivo tires. Shows good reviews on DTD but seeing if anyone has used on any Balts. Thanks guys!

I have some. Tread wear is good without too much performance compromise. I'm just stock and haven't pushed them at all. I like them.

For the stock SS/TC wheels this is a good point. They seem a bit narrow on my wheels. I have the 225. Also, the rim protection lip is too short and doesn't stick out past the rim. The wider tire might help with that. Obviously this advice can be taken with a grain of salt for aftermarket wheels. Just putting it out there for others with the stockers.

I have these.

I put about 30k miles on them so far. They are a great all season tire. Minor wheel spin in 2nd or 3rd when its wet out, but that is to be expected. Unfortunately for me is I forgot to rotate them and my camber was off. the inner tire is wore out to hell. however my rear tires probably have 40% tread left on them. I could probably squeeze another 10k miles out of them if I wanted.
