I got over 55,000 out of the factory Giti so I bought another set from the dealer.
Drove a Chevy Cavalier my entire apprenticeship. Good on gas, easy to park, sure footed with Snow Tires.
Want a real out there suggestion. The 2017 Chevy Bolt EV. Kind of a rare car. But my dad had one and it was an absolute blast. 200 hp and 266 ft/lb torque that was *instantly* available made the car way faster than you would have ever guessed. Once you ditched the terrible economy tires on it, it handled incredibly well because all the weight was way down low. It was also really well balanced because, while front wheel drive, most of the weight was in the middle - so it didn't really act like a typical front wheel drive car.
I have run Gitisynergy H2 in 195/65R15 size. Where it loses out is sheer feel and dry grip. The sidewalls on H2 are softer, tends to roll a lot, leading to a numb and delayed handling feel. On the plus side, it was very puncture resistant and had wet grip on par with the T005. I did not feel that the tyres were sketchy in the wet. Wear was average - at around 40,000km mark the sidewalls were wearing down into almost nothing and the tyre was becoming a bit donut-shaped.
Have it on my model 3 for almost 30,000km already, so far so good. Not as noisy as my PS4s but definitely not grippier as well but it’s negligible on everyday normal driving. Its super cheap tho, I can change out tyres every 2-3 years and it’s cheaper than a set of PS4/5s
Having gone from a WRX to a Chevy bolt, it is a very different experience. The WRX was a thousand times more fun. The turbo constantly begged you to go faster. It cornered flat and came with super sticky tires so you could go around a corner at a crazy speed. The bolt has solid straight line acceleration, but low rolling resistance tires make it much less fun, and slower in a lap around a track.
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
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.
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.
Never heard of Giti before, which is not a good sign. After Looking them up, the reviews aren't great.
