The Motivo is Nitto's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire for drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes, and performance sedans seeking a balance of quiet comfort, precise handling, and capable all-season performance.
The Motivo's all-season compound is molded into an asymmetric pattern engineered to minimize perceptible noise for a quiet on-road experience. Large outboard tread blocks are designed to enhance grip and cornering in dry conditions, and the continuous solid center rib contributes to a confident on-center feel and straight-line stability for braking and acceleration. Four wide circumferential grooves work with lateral notches and open shoulder slots to effectively evacuate water for increased wet traction and hydroplaning resistance. Nitto's 3D Multiwave sipe technology in the inboard and outboard tread blocks allows the sipes to lock together for stability while also creating biting edges for grip in slippery conditions. The siping and independent tread blocks in the shoulders combine with transverse notches in the center of the tread to provide capable light snow traction.
The internal construction of the Nitto Motivo consists of two wide steel belts atop a two-ply polyester casing. A single nylon reinforcement ply further stabilizes the tread for high-speed durability.
El neumático Motivo de Nitto pertenece a la categoría: Ultra Alto Rendimiento Para Toda Estación y fue fabricado para conductores de autos deportivos, cupé deportivo y sedanes de rendimiento, que buscan un balance entre confort, maniobrabilidad precisa y capacidad, para ser usado durante las cuatro estaciones del año.
El compuesto de caucho para toda estación del neumático Motivo es moldeado en un patrón asimétrico enfocado a disminuir el ruido y proporcionar una experiencia con bajo ruido en las carreteras. Bloques grandes en la parte externa de la huella han sido diseñados para mejorar la tracción en condiciones secas y al tomar curvas; un segmento central continuo sólido, contribuye a proporcionar un sentimiento de estar centrado y estabilidad, al frenar o acelerar en línea recta. Cuatro canales circunferenciales anchos trabajan conjuntamente con ranuras laterales y espacios en los hombros, para evacuar efectivamente el agua y aumentar tracción sobre superficies mojadas, al igual que la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). La tecnología "3D Multiwave sipe" de Nitto, utilizada en los bloques internos y externos, permite que pequeñas ranuras se cierren entre ellas para proporcionar mayor estabilidad, a la vez de, crear mayor cantidad de bordes adherentes, que aumentan la tracción sobre superficies en condiciones resbalosas. Pequeñas ranuras y bloques independientes en los hombros se combinan con ranuras transversales en el centro de la huella, para proporcionar tracción sobre superficies con poca nieve.
La construcción interna del Motivo cuenta con dos correas anchas de acero por encima de una estructura de dos capas de poliéster. Una capa de refuerzo de nailon aumenta, aún más, la estabilidad de la huella y proporciona mayor durabilidad por su uso a velocidades rápidas.
