Nitto Motivo 255/45R18, All Season, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: All season traction; Enhanced controllability; Alignment indicators; Comfortable performance; Nitto Motivo TiresThe Nitto Motivo is a high performance, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Nitto offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model. The tire promotes great all season traction with the 3D multi-wave sipes of the footprint and the interlocking ripple design. These tread elements allow the tire to enhance the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges. As a result, the tire manages to securely conquer the road surface in versatile weather conditions. Additionally, the wider streamlined, open lateral and circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. Water and slush are dispersed from below the footprint, resulting in a stronger wet traction. The road contact is also maintained with the continuous solid center rib. This, plus the outer shoulder area, greatly enhances the steering responsiveness and driving stability. As a result, the tire helps to upgrade the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands. The structure also secures the structural stability against the driving pressure, further improving the performance. The outer shoulder pattern helps to increase the cornering ability. These tread blocks provide extra biting edges, boosting the overall maneuvering capability. The tread area features alignment indicators. They visually represent the treadwear rate and manner of the tires. These indicators are located on parallel shoulders. If they are wearing in an identical manner, the vehicle's alignment is good. However, if their wear is dissimilar, the vehicle's alignment needs to be checked, before the tires develop an irregular wear pattern. This helps to optimize the treadwear manner, boosting the model's service life. The Nitto Motivo increases the comfort levels as well. The uniform tire shape and the computer-generated tread pattern greatly decrease the road noise and vibration levels. The ideal tire shape ensures a close road contact, absorbing the shock of driving while the tires are in motion. This minimizes the road vibrations felt by the passengers. On the other hand, the computer-optimized tread pattern negates the sound waves generated during the drive. This prevents sound waves from reaching the vehicle's cabin as they are negated. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
