Nitto Motivo: what the numbers tell you
The Motivo's UTQG treadwear rating of 560 puts it in the long-wear class. Its compound is engineered for life over outright grip, which is appropriate for an everyday touring tire. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.
Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a all-season tire built for the truck-suv segment, the Motivo is positioned against direct rivals within the same category.

A quiet ride, precise handling, and superior grip all year round? That’s the winning combination of the Nitto Motivo performance tire. The Motivo’s asymmetrical tread design and silica-based compound enable its responsive handling and all-season traction. And thanks to its sporty tread design with extra-wide shoulder bocks and a solid center rib, you can count on precision cornering capabilities in any weather condition. Plus, it comes in W and Y speed ratings, which means it can help you maintain the same precise handling and high-speed needs of your sports car.
