Nitto Motivo All Season 225/55ZR17 101W XL Passenger Tire

I've had these for 43k miles. They're very quiet, which is why I will definitely buy them again, and why I recommend them to everyone when they can actually find them!!! They handle amazingly well in the dry or rain. Hydroplaning is rated 7 out of 10 by me. I only had problems maintaining the (70mph) speed limit once, on a Florida panhandle interstate in the middle of a complete downpour, my OEM (loud, but otherwise fine) ContiPros were better at only that when they were new. These are a firm riding tire, which aside from them not being astonishingly good at hydroplaning, is my only non-10 score. It took 35k miles for the tires on my bent rims to get loud after the tire place finally decided to rotate them to the front. They evidently never rotated them for the first 40k miles, even though I took them in every 5 - 7k miles. Still, I'm pretty impressed with their treadlife, the rear ones are pretty much bald now, but the front two are at somewhere around 6/32" left. I'll be replacing these 225/45r17 with a 225/50r17 Nitto Motivo when I buy new rims to replace these bent ones.

I am extremely pleased with the Motivo tires. For 60 ,000 mile all season tires I did not expect much in ride quality. Boy, was I wrong, these tires are super quite with a smooth ride and a road hugging grip. For the price you cannot go wrong. I highly recommend them
