Is anyone running Nitto Motivo tires on 20s?
My M-Sport has the staggered 20" wheels with summer P Zero tires and I'm looking for a non-runflat all-season tire. The only options I'm seeing are Conti DWS and Nitto Motivos. I tried the Contis on my e70 X5 and had terrible issues with vibrations, and ended up returning them. I see that that seems to be an ongoing issue, so I'm hesitant to try the newer model of the DWS. Has anyone gone with the Nitto Motivos? They seem to get good reviews from drivers of other cars, but not seeing many from X5 owners.

Not on the X5, but I have them on my DD and don't recommend them at all. They break loose pretty easily on wet roads. I was "forced" to get them because my normal summer tires (Falkens) were not in stock when I had an emergency need to replace two tires.
Granted, perhaps that should be expected of any tire that has a 60K mileage warranty [read: HARD compound!]...

I put the DWS 06's on my '14 X5 with staggered 20's and have been very happy with them. They track straight, are unusually quiet, and have zero balance issues. Runout measurement on the two fronts was .004", almost perfectly round.

I'm 20k miles on this set of DWS06, so far so good.
