vs
Tires WEST LAKE or Giti
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 have some Westlake SA07 for 10k miles now and they're holding up pretty good. Really good tires for the price.
Pros: good tires for price
Mileage: 16093 km
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.
Pros: quiet, smooth, do the job
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 3218 km
I personally run Westlakes SA07’s and will swear by them until the day I die
Pros: grippy, long lasting
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.
Pros: good hydroplaning resistance
Cons: no major complaints
Mileage: 7000 km
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.
Pros: decent handling, decent traction
Cons: funny name
My dad currently has Westlake tires on his truck and they're not noisy at all. They do have less grip however and you have to be careful on wet roads.
Pros: not noisy
Cons: less grip
Westlakes are some of the worst tires you can buy. If you need cheap tires, stick to General, BFgoodrich, or Hankook. Don't buy shit tires, you're placing your life in the hands of a ultra cheap Chinese tire brand that makes tires that failed German tire safety tests.
Cons: worst tires you can buy
