Tires GT Radial or Giti

My SE came with the Giti, never heard of them before. So far so good, but it's only the first year I've had them and I'm at 7000 miles. I'll probably replace them before next winter.

We just had our third major snowfall of the season (11'' here in Denver) and again, I'm quite pleased with the way the Giti's have performed at 19K miles. Traction and braking are above average on packed snow and frozen snow.

To your comment about the GITI tires...my 2019 SE came with them. I've put about 2k miles on the car so far. I have always been a bit of a tire snob, changing OE tires for higher grade ones rather quickly. But I have to admit that these OE tires have really surprised me. They're quiet, smooth, and do the job a small SUV needs. Now, I'll still probably go with a different company when these wear out, but for now I'm satisfied.

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.

I've had a 2019 Tiguan S as a dealer loaner for six days and counting, while my 2017 Tiguan SEL is being worked on. Giti brand tires (wtf) aren't too noisy.

The socal 86 cup is sponsored by them, so they've all I've ever used. They're more like 260tw. But I got 245 r40 17 for like $80 each. They're not the best, but they're the best for the money.

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: **** tires from factory. Giti.
