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.
I've also used General Altimax Arctic with studs, they were really good all-round winter tires but they were annoyingly loud on the highway and they were more comfortable on snow and ice than dry pavement.
I replaced them with General Altimax, dealer reccomended them. I have about 10k on them and like them. Took them on some mild-moderate off-roading out in the Mojave the other day and they did amazingly well for road tires.
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.
I have about 5000 miles on General AS-05's, 235/45/18 mounted on Prismas. Love these tires.
I've had General (altimax, loved those)
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.
Another vote for the Generals. My CRV seems to ride like **** and handle like dog-**** with them on, but I love the abuse.
