Bridgestone Blizzak 6 vs Giti GitiWinterW2
While the GitiW2 earns praise for aquaplaning reserves and low noise in some sizes, the Blizzak 6 delivers a more rounded, predictable package with standout snow traction and class-leading wet braking. Price and value dynamics do diverge, and Giti claws back ground on straight-line aquaplaning and cabin refinement in select tests, setting up a clear performance-versus-value decision.
Test Results
Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been six tests which compare both tyres directly!

While it might look like the Bridgestone Blizzak 6 is better than the Giti GitiWinterW2 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.
Key Strengths
- Class-leading wet braking and control (e.g., −7% wet braking vs Giti in multiple tests)

- Lower rolling resistance with excellent wear and low abrasion (ADAC +32% mileage)
- Consistent, predictable handling and steering precision across conditions
- Very good straight-line aquaplaning resistance (often ahead of Bridgestone)
- Low exterior noise in several sizes/tests
- Competitive snow braking/handling in some results
- Stronger value proposition on purchase price and acceptable wear

Conclusion
The GitiWinterW2 offers credible snow capability, very good aquaplaning resistance (often ahead in straight-line and sometimes curved), quieter running in some sizes, and a better purchase-price value score. For budget-led buyers in regions with frequent standing water but less relentless wet braking demand, it's serviceable. For most drivers facing mixed European winters-wet, cold, and snowy-the Blizzak 6's repeatable control and shorter stops make it the clear recommendation and the safer, longer-lasting long-term buy.

Footnote
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
