I had a major blowout necessitating the purchase of a new Conti at the nearest Lexus dealer, now I'm committed to Contis all around

So I decided to sacrifice grip for longevity.

So I have no idea about any other tires from Nitto. Other models may be awesome, I am only speaking for the Motivo's.
Thanks for the input on those. I've never had those, but did like the neogen on my Mr2 and the NT555 on my friend's 2grfe Mr2 swap I autocrossed. Both had good grip so i can't see the Nt05 not being sticky enough for my usage from what I'm reading on them.

If anyone has used them and not liked them please chime in (especially agressive/track drivers).

I want some feed back from people who have had the Michelin SS and the Bridgestone REO50A(oem tire). Which is better. I am thinking the Michelins are a better tire all around.

Another fan of the Michelin SS. Bought two rears three months ago, just found out I have the infamous inside tire wear on the front so I'm pricing a set of fronts as I type.

No complaints, great grip, and good performance in this terrible east coast snow as of late.
