Default I got new tires!

Hey guys,
I just got a new set of Nitto Motivos (245/45R18 front, 255/45R18 rear) put on My XK8 and so far I am very happy.They replaced a set of Falkens that came wih vehicle and were very worn out!

The Nittos are an "Ultra High Performance All-Season" tire with a mud/snow rating and have a 100,000km (60,000 mile) warranty! Non-directional so can be rotated (left to right only as staggered set up)

Ride is very quiet and comfortable, feel grippy although I haven't tried to test their limits (yet).

Most satisfying benefit I've found from the new tire install is the car feels completely different due to a wheel alignment done, it was WAY out before! Used to like driving the car, now I love to drive the car since it no longer tries to pull me off the road!

Tires, Hunter Road Force balance, alignment installed all for under $1300 (Canadian) including the tax!
