vs
Tires Uniroyal or Giti
I’ve had a set of Uniroyals (Tigerpaws) on my 2010 ford focus slider. They’ve been on for quite a few years now, no noticeable cracking, and treadwear still good.
Pros: treadwear still good
Cons: ford focus slider
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
There is such a notion as touring/comfort tires. They are not sporty at all, their advantage is in the ride quality compared to sportiness. And the prices are usually lower.
Pros: good ride quality
Cons: not sporty
I drive a 2006 Toyota Camry. Not the best on gas, but it handles winter roads well and is comfortable. I like Uniroyal Tiger Paw all season tires.
Pros: handles winter roads well
Cons: not the best on gas
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
General Tire, Kumho, Dunlop, Uniroyal are also decent.
Pros: also decent
I got over 55,000 out of the factory Giti so I bought another set from the dealer.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 88500 km
Consumer reports says:
Pros: Solid performance in the areas of dry braking, handling, hydroplaning resistance. Solid treadlife performance also.
Cons: Just average rolling resistance performance which can have a negative impact on vehicle fuel efficiency.
Pros: Solid dry braking, handling
Cons: average rolling resistance
Giti is an okay brand of tire but personally, I will switch to Michelins once the OEM tires need replacing. And even then EV tires will need more constant replacements because of the extra weight.
Cons: constant replacements, extra weight
Vehicle:
BYD
I have a 2021 VW Tiguan SE 4Motion with 43k miles, still rocking its factory Giti tires. While prepping for a road trip, I discovered that all four are dry rotting pretty badly, and one is starting to crack on the sidewall. Kinda looks like I needed tires yesterday.
Cons: dry rotting, cracking sidewall
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 69200 km
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.
Cons: poor wear and tear, short lifespan
Mileage: 12000 km
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.
Cons: burst, poor in hot weather
Mileage: 35000 km
