Thoughts on Nitto Motivo tires

Hello guys. I recently purchased some new tires, Nitto Motivo. I wrapped the new tires on the oem wheels. I upgraded from 215 to 225 tho. Anybody else here running the Nitto motivo tires?

I have the motivos. Way more grippy obviously. But i was impressed with them over the winter. I pushed my luck a few times going up to ski hills in north New Mexico. They do very well in the rain and appear like they will last quite a while. happy with them so far
