vs
Tires Giti or OEM Porsche
Reviews
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.
Pros: good hydroplaning resistance
Cons: no major complaints
Mileage: 7000 km
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.
Pros: decent handling, decent traction
Cons: funny name
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.
Pros: fairly quiet, acceptable ride
I drive my 981.2 (718) Cayman in the winter around here in Ohio and it does fine with winter tires (does better than most AWD things with just all-seasons)
Pros: does fine with winter tires
Vehicle:
Porsche Cayman
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.
Pros: NVH isn't too bad
Cons: tires aren't too noisy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 13000 km
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: no factory warranty, belt let go
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 4500 km
Cons: **** tires from factory. Giti.
Cons: bad tires from factory
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
