is motomaster tire good

yesterday I went to canadian tire to change tire, the guy told me motomaster is on sale buy one and get another one at half price. He told me that is good brand. I am not very sure, because I know only good year, uniloyal, bfgoodrich, firestone is good brand. Did anyone have use motomaster tires, is it suitable for your civic?

if you're civic is just a beater go for it. there are definitely better options though if you're looking for performance improvements.

ya, like what do you do with your car? Motomasters were great on my winter beater, but I wouldn't be caught dead with them on my Civic.

I just got Toyo TPT's on my stock 14 inch rims, the car drives totally different, .. they are uni-directional. I recommend them, however, I have herd they may suck in snow. I won't find out till later.

i have the older toyo proxes h4 on my 14inchers... i found that they are good on fry pavement and decent in wet... but bad on snow... although i've never driven my civic with anything else in snow...

Before I get my rims, I will just use all season tires on steel wheels. BFGoodrich is something I am after. Like a hundred per tire is reasonable for me. I wouldn't go with MotoMaster.

i know guys that say the mm's (motomaster) snows are great, for winter driving..
they have a spare set of steelies and have run those during the nasty season, then go to their good rubber for the nice weather months..

i don't think you'll find a really good set of "all-seasons" made by anyone that will give you what you want...imo
i know i won't find anyone that can give me what i'm after without running two sets of tires/wheels

If you just want a decent all season tire (non-performance) then they will do fine. I had a set on my first Civic years ago and they served me well for the three years I had them. Considering the price, you can't go wrong. BTW, Motomaster tires are made by BF Goodrich.

Thanks everybody here. Today I tour around and I think I will go with motomaster se. Their price can't be rejected. I think kumho is also a good choice but here (in london) there are no dealers except walmart has one type of it. Firestone680, michelin are expensive cost 150$ more for a set of 4. So, just take mm and see if it is nice.
