vs
Tires Triangle or Giti
Even with these cheap Giti tires I have about 80% less wheel spin in snowy conditions compared to normal \"Street\" mode in same conditions. Turning a corner, the stability is enhanced and feels safer.
Pros: stability is enhanced, feels safer
Cons: cheap tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
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
I had Triangles on a pickup and they were decent.
Pros: decent quality
I run chinese tires on my Peugeot, they are just called TRIANGLE

Back in Dec 2022 I bought a new set of Giti E1 tires from a reseller and got them installed with alignment. The tires felt slippery in the wet even after 3 months of usage. I could feel the rear of the car sliding out even when doing 30-40km/h on a wet right bend.
Cons: slippery in the wet
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Reason I Found this out is one of the NEW giti tires busted a side wall and had to go buy a new tire already after only 4500 miles and when we left the tire shop the TPMS came on so we took it back to check the tire pressure and he said oh you just have to reset it
Cons: tire busted a side wall
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 4500 km
I also have now learned that GITI does have an y factory warrantly with their tires..they dont stand behind them. Now I now its not THEIR fault or fault of dealer but my wifes 2018 passat new to use 4500 miles ago had a belt let go in a brand new less that 4500 miles and has a bulge dealer say giti has no warrantly of any kind so its all out dime. I will definately change these out when they wear out.
Cons: no factory warranty, belt let go

Volkswagen Passat
