Default Ordered up a set of Nitto Motivo Tires. Anyone try these yet?

We'll see how they perform. Got them in factory size at 245/40/18. Best I've ever done on a set of tires before is 36,000 miles. Most sets I only get 20-25,000 miles, no matter the brand or UTQG number. The Nitto's claim to fame is 60,000 mile tread warranty. They would have to be made of Carbide to last that long, LOL! That is not something my Audi Quattro's have been good at is long tire life. They seem to eat sets of tires for breakfast. Anyone try this new set of tires on the market yet?

I am tempted to try these as my next set of tires for my 08 A6 as well. How much did they run you?

I purchased a set for my 05 A6 and they are smooth as butter. They seem to be the best set of tires that I have put on that car. My A6 has 85k miles on it and this is the third set of tires that I have put on it.

They all seem to cup real bad around 30k miles. The last set was Goodyear Eagle Z1's and the road noise from those were unbearable. The Motivo's are smooth and quiet. We have not had any rain or snow yet, so I am unable to give my opinion on poor road conditions.

So far they are as advertised and would not hesitate to recommend them.


Thanks

David
