Whether you're looking for a performance tire that can handle the thrill of a windy mountain switchback or a reliable city cruiser, Nitto's Motivo tire is ready for anything. This three-season tire features a unique tread pattern with four water dispersion grooves to achieve stellar braking and handling scores, rain or shine. Our independent testing revealed five-star ratings in both hydroplane resistance and road noise, earning this tire its rightful position as a Kal Tire exclusive top seller.

?Summer vs Winter Tests

BRAKING

We varied our approach speeds by driving surface and by season for two reasons. First, this represents how most Canadians would normally drive on that surface in each season. Second, testing in both seasons provides an indication of how a tire's performance will be affected by road temperature.

CORNERING

To understand how road surface temperatures affect the cornering performance of a tire, our cornering tests are completed in both summer conditions (dry and wet pavement, and gravel roads) and winter conditions (dry, wet and icy pavement). Please note that slush is also tested but completed in a specific slush cornering test..

?Independent & Objective Testing

The independent tire testers conducted extensive tests to determine how the tires in our core line-up perform in a range of conditions in both summer and winter. To maintain neutrality, no driver knew the specifics of the tires they were testing each time. All results were analyzed and processed by the testing group and then provided to Kal Tire for sharing with our customers.

These tires are very smooth and quiet running on highways here that are rather rough after a long winter and heavy trucks having beat up the roads pretty badly in some areas.

Replaced the run-flat tires with Nitto Motivo tires. Great improvement in handling and feel while driving 2006 BMW Z4 3.0i. Granted there is no spare tire or jack with the BMW, but with a pump and patch kit it was a calculated compromise and one given the feel of the new tires well worth it. KAL Tire Victoria adjusted the alignment, mounted the new Nittos, and had the car ready on time as promised. Drove the Z4 from Victoria to Prince George. Super satisfied with the improved handling of the BMW.

Quiet ride at all speeds. No handling issues observed in either wet or dry weather. Very good ROI for their cost.

The staff at store #882 (Agincourt) were incredibly helpful and the workmanship was impeccable. I’d highly recommend them if you need tires.
