Are they made in 215/55R/16 and 205/60/16 sizes in standard load? Not available in 16" link http://www.nittotire.com/Tire/motivo#size
Are yours Standard Load rated
See link above.
What air pressures cold? I'm running 32psi cold
Where are they made?
Nitto tires are made in Japan. There are many subdivisions of the tire factories throughout the world, especially in the United States. The Japanese company in America is called Toyo Tire and Rubber Company.
When you say quiet have you tried them on all road surfaces, especially roads that have had studded tire wear? I'm in Northwest CT. Not to many cars have studded tires, but there are a few. I've been on paved and dirt roads, wet and dry.
Are they quiet at low and medium speeds? 15-60mph
Yes, they are quiet at those speeds.
What are you comparing them with when you say a softer more cushioned ride?
I am comparing to the OEM Affinity tires in the 215/55/16
I have tried 6 different tires and really have not found one that is seriously softer/cushioned and still handles reasonably well.
OK ... I'll admit ...I want it all when it comes to my tires.
There's a lot of BS out there in the Reviews.
People making stupid conclusions based on what they percieve to be the true and honest facts.
I'm like you, I want it all when it comes to tires. 3000+ miles on the tires so far and I am very happy with them.
