Nitto Motivo All Season 225/50ZR17 98W XL Passenger Tire

I wasn't able to find many reviews on this tire and reluctantly purchased them. So far I am glad that I did. These have, so far, been the best all season tire I have ever purchased. They are much quieter and more comfortable than expected, comparable to the Michelin Primacy MXM and the Conti Pro Contact. They way out performs both of them. I can be confident and ignore the maximum safe speed signs when entering or exiting highways, and on twisting back roads and easily go 20 mph faster than posted without tire squeal. Weather is no problem. The tires handle wet surfaces almost as well as dry surfaces. They grip the road extremely well with light snow, 2 or less inches, also. I was also pleased with the look of the tire. They are a little wider than the previous two tires I have had, and both the sidewall and tread pattern look more aggressive than the pictures indicated.
