    Thumbs up New Nitto Motivos

    Hey everyone!

    So I picked my Marauder up with low kms and it still had the original factory tires on her as result. They had more then enough tread on the fronts but the backs were done for and I really wasn't enjoying the feel they had either.

    Once the rears were finished I replaced all 4 with factory size Nitto Motivos based on the recommendation of people on here,and the difference was easily noticeable. I was driving in heavy rain the day I got the tires and was more then happy with the grip they offered again.

    Highly suggest these tires so far!

    Would these tires be better than thever Firestone? Are these the 60k mile tires?

    I would say yes, the Nitto Motivos do exceptionally well for our cars.

    Yes they are. That said, if I drove my Marauder in winter/snow conditions (which I do not) I would put my snow tires on.

    The rear tires on my Marauder were nearly new Nitto's, they wore out quickly, like within 15,000 miles. It wasn't because of burnouts but just normal driving. They were a great nice weather tire though.

    Having a close friend working for firestone sways my opinion towards firestone tires. Of the local 6 marauders that tend car shows, we all have firestone tires because of buying through him we get a great deal. Honestly,.... they are tires and I have road hazard on them, that's the most important portion of new tires for me.


    On tirerack There are 5 firestone rear tires nationwide and plenty of front firestone heavily discounted because the ARE discontinued,...
    Fronts are 98.00 each!!

    I wished I had a set of motivos to compare them to, maybe the op will give us a update on them. They look like nice tires
