vs
Tires GOODRIDGE or Giti
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
Performance-wise, I've been happy with my Gitis. At 1/32 of wear at 23K miles, the guy at Discount Tire was impressed.
Pros: happy with performance
Mileage: 23000 km
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.
Pros: so far so good
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 11265 km
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.
Pros: above average traction, braking
Mileage: 19000 km
Just picked up a 2021 Tiguan SE, of course equipped with Giti\u2019s. So far in 15 miles of driving, they have a little road noise compared to my Bridgestones currently on my Alltrack
Pros: little road noise
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 15 km
I have the Giti's on my R-Line, and they are....barely adequate. I doubt I will wait long to replace them since I do a good bit of highway driving. They are noisy, so I will at least give them a few thousand miles to see how they wear and sound.
Pros: see how they wear
Cons: noisy, barely adequate
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I had a set of Goodrides. Dealer threw them on a used truck I bought. Went from new to bald in 30k km. Junk.
Cons: went bald in 30k km
Mileage: 30000 km
My current car came with Goodride tires from the dealership. While I didn’t rotate them they wore down to 4/32nds as well rather quickly and became scary in rainy conditions.
Cons: wore down quickly, scary in rain
They look to be mounted correctly; however, I find cheap chinese tires like those don't perform as well as good quality tires, are more noisy, and wear out faster.
Cons: noisy, wear out faster
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
