Tires Sailun or Giti
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.
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.
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.
Sailun Ice Blazer WSL2's Their one of the top chinese tire brands. Have had them for 3 seasons driving the fraser-cariboo and they have been awesome.
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.
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.
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.
My 4runner came with new Sailun Terramax HLT tires. Went 4 wheeling with them twice so far and a couple 1000+ mile road trips... so far so good. They're quiet on road and didn't get me stuck in the desert off road.
they are ok tires. not the best to stretch, ive cooked through 2 sets now and... still not to impressed sadly
Sailuns are cheap Chinese crap.
