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.
When I first started autocross, I was on mismatched all seasons with different tires all around. A local autocrosser with old tires took pity on me and gifted me a set of used Toyo Proxes R1R he didn't need any more. Mind. Blown.
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.
Tires: Toyo Proxes T1 Sport
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.
Ended up going in a completely different direction. Found the Toyo Open County AT2 for 20% off, making it significantly cheaper. Couldn't say no given the price.
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.
It's possible the tire company is doing a great job of balancing your tires, only to have the tires spin on the rims while you're driving. I had this problem on the 19\" Atheos with Toyo Proxes ST's mounted.
I'm fixing to put the 5th pair of tires on the rear......and the fronts aren't going to be too far behind. The car has only 32,000 miles on it. Toyo's. They are wearing flat, no cupping, but wearing fast.
