Nitto Motivo

Has anyone tried this tire? I am reaching 22k miles and the OEM Dunlops are getting noisy. I have had the DWS on prior RWD cars and loved them. However based on mixed reviews of pulling I am looking for an all-season that can handle Chicago weather. The specs are similar to the DWS but I can't find any RWD reviews.

Thanks in advance,

I'm just recently riding on Nitto Motivo tires so I can't really post a review on them yet. I have only driven about 3000 miles on them. Being that these are 60,000 mile tires, I'll review them at around 30,000 miles.

Were there any balancing or tracking/pulling issues? Road noise? Thank you,

The short answer is yes, there is a noise problem going on but hyundai service beleives that the problem lies with a vibration in the driveshaft. They said that some of the 4.6 models had the driveshafts installed incorrectly at the factory. I should have my car back by Friday and then I will know for sure if the problem is with the tires or not. I will say this though, I had Bridgestone Serenities on the car before the Motivos. The Motivo tires handle much better than the Bridgestones.
