Tires Giti or OEM Volkswagen

I test drove all 3 tire size when shopping the Arteon, don't be fooled, size does matter. As expected, 18 inch has the best ride and the 20 the worst. It was quite noticeable even on the short drive.

We've had significant amounts of rain here in the Denver area with lots of standing water. So far, so good with the Gitis resistance to hydroplaning. No major complaints on these tires having logged about 7K miles in 3 months.

I had minor concerns about these "Giti" tires but they remind me of the Continental Pro Contacts on previous VW's. Handling, noise, traction are all decent for an OEM tire.

Ive noticed that my new 2019 SE has Giti brand tires. So far, they seem fairly quiet and have an acceptable ride and handling. Running recommended 41psi.

Apart from the stock all-season tires being abysmally horrid in the winter (I have another set of wheels with summer-only tires for warm weather), I haven't had any issues with my car and using the go-pedal.

Just drove my mk5 through a winter storm. (quite literally) It performed very well! It has identical handling characteristics to the mk6 Golf. As others have said, it strongly depends on the tires.

The ride on 20" are quite harsh when compared to all other smaller wheels sizes with the same tires. I got 20" for both summer and winter, rosario ones, obviously with different tires and the winter tires with have a softer widewall and generally more rubber not being a low profile tires rides much better than the summer tires.

I ha dto change my tires e-brake, e-brake lines, brakes rotors, rear subframe bushings and I have 8 codes on my car sayin I now have electicall problems.

Reason I Found this out is one of the NEW giti tires busted a side wall and had to go buy a new tire already after only 4500 miles and when we left the tire shop the TPMS came on so we took it back to check the tire pressure and he said oh you just have to reset it

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.
