Nitto Tire U.S.A. Inc. will showcase its new all-season ultra-high performance tire at the 2011 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) Show Nov. 1-4 in Las Vegas, Nev. Nitto's booth, No. 40029, will be located in the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The new Motivo is "an active all-season UHP tire," according to Nitto, which is backing the tire with a 60,000-mile limited tread wear warranty. It will be available in many 17- through 20-inch sizes with W- or Y-speed ratings.
Tread pattern features include the following:
* large tread blocks designed to enhance cornering performance;
* a continuous center rib for stability at high speeds;
* 3D Multi-Wave sipes and fin sipes, which help provide additional traction in winter conditions; and
* four circumferential grooves and open lateral slits for water evacuation.
Fans of NItto's Facebook page also can check out the company's Nitto Tire Fan Drive Sweepstakes at the booth. Nitto launched the contest to reward its ever-growing fan base of currently 392,000 Facebook fans.
