vs
Tires Giti or FULDA
We just wrapped up our tire test showdown as we put six leading touring tires to the ultimate performance test across all conditions.
Wondering how tires like Giti Control P10, Michelin Primacy 4 ST, and others performed on a BMW F30.
Pros: performance test across conditions
Vehicle:
BMW
I’ve got the Giti tires that were “developed” with VW and I’ve gotten over 60k with mine. Granted they are about to the wear bars now and need replacing.
Pros: high mileage
Cons: nearing wear bars
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 60000 km
I live in Utah and have Giti Champiro tied on my Kia Rio. They are very good tires, ride well, and are somewhat quiet. They are as good as Hankooks or Goodyear. The are somewhat lacking in ice but nonetheless really good tires.
Pros: very good tires, ride well
Cons: lacking in ice
Vehicle:
Kia Rio
Even with these cheap Giti tires I have about 80% less wheel spin in snowy conditions compared to normal \"Street\" mode in same conditions. Turning a corner, the stability is enhanced and feels safer.
Pros: stability is enhanced, feels safer
Cons: cheap tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Just took it for my first drive on snowy Boston roads. Slushy really, barely an inch. My impression so far is snow mode clearly retards the Tig's throttle and seems to start in 2nd gear, limiting torque. It feels fairly solid and I didn't feel much slip, even on my own unplowed street.
Pros: feels fairly solid
Cons: retards the throttle
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 2000 km
This does happen with the Fulda Kristall Montero 3. This tire has been around quite a while so this is likely happening because of age. It doesn't seem to have very much dry rot so they'll probably make it till the winter!
Pros: probably make it
Cons: happening because of age
Mie mașina de noua a venit cu cauciucuri Giti, nu am auzit de ei, mașină de aproape 40k. Ce sa fac, sa le arunc și să dau 1500€ pe Continental? Merg cu alea până le suna ceasul, apoi iau ceva mai bun.
Tried the ff: Dunlop EC300+, Michelin Primacy 4 ST, Bridgestone Dueler, Giti & Arrivo (forgot the model)
A friend is currently using Giti tyres and according to him, madulas daw? Drove his car thrice already, but can’t feel the madulas part.
Cons: madulas daw
Whatever you do, don’t get the Giti comfort tires that came on the Passat. They’re dog water at everything, treadwear, wet or try traction, road noise.
Cons: dog water at everything
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Giti tires, at least here in the US, I thought we’re a VW OE thing. Not a very good tire when new, definitely hasn’t gotten better with age.
Cons: not a very good tire
