I'm needing some new tires. Does anyone know if Cooper Zeons or Nitto Motivos are being discontinued? I hear Firestone Wide Oval Firehawks are. Would want all season tires as well. Thanks

What makes you think they are being discontinued? Motivo's are a fairly recent addition to Nitto's line.

A member in the tire/auto repair business said Firehawks were being discontinued. I was just wondering if the other popular tires mentioned on here might be.

Firestone has been known to discontinue tires . i dealt with that on another car thru them. i see no reason for cooper or nitto to discontinue theirs.

I have no experience with the Coopers, but we have a set of the Motivos in the stock sizes and have no complaints.

Nitto Motivos is a definitely a preferred tire choice and as far as I know they are plenty in stock across the country in OEM sizes (or close variations).

Highly recommend the cooper zeon RS3-A's for your marauder
I wouldn't leave home without them!

I told you the tires where discontinued due to improvements on tread design, and a name change. This is common regardless of brand, and can happen at anytime without notice. Manufacturer's also decide to continue to offer or get rid of a certain size based on sales and demand. IE the rear 245/55R18 on our cars is not popular. HTH

Looking for tires myself.
Take a look at these tires (https://simpletire.com/catalog?select=1&width=235&ratio=50&rim=18&rwidth=245&rratio=55&rrim=18&zip=) available.
Toyo is the signature tire of the local tire shop Les Schwab out here in the PNW. Toyo's have always been good to me. Plenty of decent options though.

Last set lasted over 35,000 miles. Very happy!

I got 52k out of my last set of Motivos and just bought a new set two weeks ago.
Great tire for the money.

The Nitto 235/50-18 and 245/55-18 are still on the list.
Nitto's Motivo in OEM sizes work excellent for myself in factory stock original Marauder.

My 420's have nearly 30,000 and the wear is dead flat across the entire tread. The first 25,000 had unreal grip. The mixture of tread wear and adding another 250 HP has made them fun this year, not so grippy. [emoji4]

I got a new set of Nitto Motivos a couple of days ago. They are great! Very quiet.
Thanks to Neil for doing a Carfixer alignment on the front end and replacing a bent inner left tie rod end.

I recently bought Nitto Motivos to replace the BFGs I had. They didn't say anything to indicate they were being discontinued, it was just an odd size they had to order in.
I have used Coopers every time on my 2003 Crown Vic and love them but the Nittos are a great choice I must say.

Got my Nitto Motivos in August 2016 before The MV14 trip. The fronts were available locally; but the rears had to come from the manufacturer's warehouse stock. Only took 3 days to get them. I am Happy with the OEM size Motivos.
