Excellent tire for the price. Replaced the OEM tire with the Nitto. Improved handling and wet traction vs the OEM. Very satisfied.

...I've already driven through heavy rain at highway speeds, and they handle really well!...
Had the Motivo 365s installed on my Volvo XC90 last week, and they perform great. I’ve already driven through heavy rain at highway speeds, and they handle really well! They’re a definite upgrade from my previous tires—which will be great for our wet and snowy winters. Despite the more aggressive tread, they’re very quiet, just as advertised! Excited to see how they perform long-term, and I'm looking forward to testing them out on the snow.

...It is full-on rainy season here in Seattle and I was slightly worried about moving from an aggressive AT tire to the street look and compound of the Motivo 365. BUT straight away they are smooth as butter and handle very well on the cold and wet roads. I can still maneuver without any slipping
Swapped out the Nitto Nomad Grapplers for the Nitto Motivo 365 a few weeks ago on my Subaru Crosstrek. It is full-on rainy season here in Seattle and I was slightly worried about moving from an aggressive AT (crossover terrain) tire to the street look and compound of the Motivo 365. BUT straight away they are smooth as butter and handle very well on the cold and wet roads. I can still maneuver without any slipping and they are much quieter than the Nomads. The ride is noticeably better.
My only grievance is that the sidewall is flush with the wheel and has no side tread. However this would be expected from this type of tire and wouldn’t serve much purpose so I understand the design. I do miss having that buffer from the Nomads and I have to keep it in mind when doing anything off the pavement. They feel softer to the touch and the tread depth is much less aggressive; probably why the ride is so quiet and smooth!
Very happy so far and they are a great quality tire, perfect for a rainy environment with the increased siping on the tread. Very smooth ride, grips the road, extremely quiet. I like them very much and would recommend them to anyone on their daily driver.

...Traction in snow & wet has improved substantially, while very little grip lost in the summer...
This is a really well rounded tire for all seasons. The ride comfort and quietness was immediately a huge improvement over OEM. Traction in snow & wet has improved substantially as well, while very little grip lost in the summer. OEM tires felt like they had stiffer sidewalls for a sportier feel and slightly better response, but I think 95% of people would prefer these tires in most circumstances.

I am replaced the stock Bridgestone potenzas from VW that wore out in 11,000 miles with normal driving. I took these Nittos into discount for a rotation at 5,000 miles and they told me that there wasn’t enough wear to warrant it yet. Impressive. They are quiet-ish, sporty enough and have tread that will last forever.
I think these have been discontinued now and replaced with 360s but I’m sure those are equally as good.

The Nitto Motivo is an excellent tire. They have the same handling characteristics as the Goodyear tires my car was equipped with from the manufacturer. The tread wear, and longevity however are much better than the Goodyear. I would definitely buy this tire again, however I believe this model tire may be discontinued. Very unfortunate.
