Tires Giti or SUNNY
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.
Pros: quiet, smooth, do the job
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 3218 km
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
For what it's worth, I used to run the cheapest 235/40ZR18 tires I could find on my Jetta(Sunny brand if I recall), after a few years, I never had any complaints. Paid about $105 each and they seemed worth the money to me and not much different than the name brands($200+ each), at least as far as durability/safety was concerned
Pros: worth the money
Cons: not high performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I have "SUNNY" tires on the Cavalier for summer. A-Ok so far for two seasons.
Pros: A-Ok so far
A few years back I looked at a CPO 2009 GTI - had Sunny tires on it. Besides the rest of the car being beat to snot and smelling terrible, the tires were horrible. I didn't look at what was on the car until after the test drive. I couldn't believe it was a CPO.
Cons: horrible tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
i had some sunny tires last year just bc i was looking for cheap tires they wore like **** i needed new tire in 15k. the fronts where showing belts and the rears where cupped badly so this year im getting some 512s
Cons: wore quickly, fronts showing belts, rears cupped badly
Mileage: 15000 km
