Tires Firestone or Giti

Firestone Tires

Have a couple sets of the Firestones currently for another car. Will buy more when the need arises.

Spirited street driving with the occasional track day, just fine.

Pros: fine for spirited driving

I've got the firehawks on mine and i love them. I chose them precisely because of their price.

Can't speak to the super sports, but the firehawks are absolutely worth the money

Pros: worth the money

I'm extremely happy with my Firestone Destination X/T's in LT285/65R20E. They are quiet, good in the rain and very solid feeling even on my 1 Ton.

Pros: quiet, good in rain

One of the TireRack reps suggested the Firestone WeatherGrip tire. He drives an Alltrack and said that tire is the best all season/winter mild tire, but not at lot of people buy it because they think is not a really all season.

Pros: best all season/winter mild tire

The Firehawk Indy 500 tires aren't perfect but they hold up well on a track known for eating tires. Additionally they are predictable in wet/dry conditions which is perhaps more important for learning.

Pros: hold up well, predictable
Cons: aren't perfect

If you don't need run flats, get Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s. Rebadged Bridgestone tires that are stickier than most Michelin tires, and cheaper too

Pros: stickier than Michelin, cheaper
Vehicle: MINI

Giti Tires

I have the Giti's on my R-Line, and they are....barely adequate. I doubt I will wait long to replace them since I do a good bit of highway driving. They are noisy, so I will at least give them a few thousand miles to see how they wear and sound.

Pros: see how they wear
Cons: noisy, barely adequate
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I had Firestone’s (Firestone is owned by Bridgestone) and I hated them with a passion. They didn’t handle the rain or snow good at all, and after only 20k miles I had this, cracking all over the tires.

Cons: cracking all over, bad handling
Mileage: 32186 km

I also have now learned that GITI does have an y factory warrantly with their tires..they dont stand behind them. Now I now its not THEIR fault or fault of dealer but my wifes 2018 passat new to use 4500 miles ago had a belt let go in a brand new less that 4500 miles and has a bulge dealer say giti has no warrantly of any kind so its all out dime. I will definately change these out when they wear out.

Cons: no factory warranty, belt let go
Mileage: 4500 km
