Nitto released a new all-weather tire called Motivo 365

[slacktide_bitog]

The Nitto Motivo 365 is billed as a high performance all-weather tire, so it should be something like the Vredestein Quatrac Pro and Toyo Celsius Sport.

But the biggest advantage of the Nitto Motivo 365 is that it's available in odd sizes for some sports cars, including 275/40-17 which is used in the 4th gen F-body Camaro/Firebird/Trans Am. Yes, if you have one of those, there are FINALLY all-weather tires available for you

It's not available from Walmart and Tire Rack yet, but it is currently available at DT and Simpletire

That's an interesting tread pattern. Where is this bad boy made?

Most likely Japan. Toyo Tires owns Nitto

Toyo owns Nitto, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll be made in Japan. They also have a US factory in White, GA, along with factories in China, Malaysia, and Serbia. Their biggest factory is the US.

Furthermore, different sizes can be made in different locations. Sometimes even the same size is made in more than one place at the same time!

From the looks of the tread pattern I'd hope there are "L" and "R" versions to keep the pattern symmetric.

Not necessary. It's not about left and right, but inside and outside

Asymmetric tires have been popular for years
