Notto Motiva

[frankashaw]

Has anyone tried the Nitto Motiva on their SHO? I'm needing tires soon and these have a 60K warranty.

Second, has anyone gone up to 255/45/20 on stock rims? They should have minimal impact on the speedo.

Aren't the 'stock' rims 19's?

No, I have the PP, 20" rims.

255-45-20 is the standard size on EB Flex using the same width (8") rim. While rim design is different, both SHO & Flex use a 38 offset.

I'm concerned about rubbing, they are about 3/4" wider, 3/8 per side. They are about 1/2" taller.

I believe a guy in St. Louis has even bigger tires on his SHO, but on the 19" rims.

No guarantees on rubbing, but I would be very surprised if you have any issues with the 255-45-20, other than your speedo is going to be slightly slow. Just not that much difference.

I have the Nitto Motiva's on 20inch rims. See thread http://www.shoforum.com/showthread.php?t=123217

After 600 miles, I am very happy with the ride of the tires. Super quiet.
