Tires SUMITOMO or Giti

I have Sumitomo Encounter ATs that I like pretty well. On road manners are great and no complaints off-road. They don't look as "cool" as some of the other ATs but they work just as well.

I got about 30k miles on sumitomos 285/75/16 snow rated, AT. They’ve been solid

I got sumitomo on mine. Quite. Great on all things wet including light snow.

I got Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 tires put on my car last October. I live in Wisconsin and am frequently in NW Wisconsin/MN/SD. They were great for me last winter and are pretty quiet during the summer and solid in the rain. I’ve put over 25k miles on them in a year and still no complaints and limited wear. They were a middle-lower cost option when I bought them on Tire Rack and installed for free at Discount Tire. I’ll probably buy them again. I’ve heard they’re a little soft and wear fast though? That’s not been my experience yet but just what I’ve read.

I have the Sumitomo Encounter AT's on my frontier. Good reasonably priced tire.

I have run Gitisynergy H2 in 195/65R15 size. Where it loses out is sheer feel and dry grip. The sidewalls on H2 are softer, tends to roll a lot, leading to a numb and delayed handling feel. On the plus side, it was very puncture resistant and had wet grip on par with the T005. I did not feel that the tyres were sketchy in the wet. Wear was average - at around 40,000km mark the sidewalls were wearing down into almost nothing and the tyre was becoming a bit donut-shaped.

Sumitomo and Falken are grippy and good but get loud as hell after a while.

For $70 I can buy Japanese made Sumitomos which have perfectly adequate grip in most conditions and long life, but they are quite loud due to the aggressive tread.

My rear giti S2 tyre burst in BKE while driving on the fast lane. It was probably already around 35000-40000KMs. I managed to filter left and get to the road shoulder without damaging my rims. It doesn't take well extreme hot weather.

Never heard of Giti before,  which is not a good sign.  After Looking them up, the reviews aren't great.
