Tires Giti or Shinko
I am currently running a set of Giti Dexteros on a 1997 Olds Regency. I have about 15000 miles on them and rotate every 5k. They ride great and tire wear is normal at this point. I would recommend them!
Pros: ride great, normal wear
Mileage: 15000 km
I avoided the 805 big blocks because of typically rough and noisy street use. Figured they’d be great offroad. Tried some 705s and they were great street tires but really loose and washy offroad. I’m on the 700s now and I’m really liking them. Closest thing to a 50/50 tire I’ve ever had.
Pros: great street tires
Cons: loose and washy offroad
Go for Giti or even their more popular variant in motorsports, GT Radial. They're pretty affordable and have been loving them on our Ranger.
Pros: affordable, loving them
Vehicle:
Ford Ranger
I put on Shinko Ravens and they are more confidence inspiring than the Michelin Pilot 3s I was using.
Pros: confidence inspiring
Might I suggest some Shinko’s. I got 16k out of the back tire I got for my Goldwing, 12k+ of those were overloaded doing 80-90 across the country and through the Rockies.
Pros: high mileage, impressed
Cons: overloaded
Mileage: 16000 km
Ive heard of laufenn but im more familiar with Giti as you see there stuff rebranded in the US as GT Radial and Dextero which are popular in discount tire and walmart. They’re a good budget tire but dont expect 50k out of them. I find most budget tires feel just as good as the more expensive stuff with their longevity being the main drawback
Pros: good budget tire
Cons: longevity being drawback
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.
Changed to them a few months ago, the wear and tear of these tyres are poorer than the common brands such as Bridgestones, foresee it lasting about 1 year compared to 2-3 years with common brands tyres. My road usage is around 12000-13000 km per year.
Cons: poor wear and tear, short lifespan
Mileage: 12000 km
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.
Cons: burst, poor in hot weather
Mileage: 35000 km
Never heard of Giti before, which is not a good sign. After Looking them up, the reviews aren't great.
Cons: reviews aren't great
