Giti GitiSport S2 plus vs Toyo Proxes Sport 2
On paper, the Giti repeatedly posts excellent braking numbers (dry and often wet) and backs that up with standout wear and value in the Autobild test. The Toyo, meanwhile, tends to shine more in handling feel/pace and aquaplaning metrics, with consistently low external noise and good comfort scoring-though it's also the one more likely to be penalized on running costs due to short projected mileage.
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 three tests which compare both tyres directly!

| Giti GitiSport S2 plus | two | |
| Toyo Proxes Sport 2 | one |
While it might look like the Giti GitiSport S2 plus is better than the Toyo Proxes Sport 2 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
- Consistently excellent dry braking across all shared tests (wins 3/3; ~34.3-34.5 m vs Toyo 34.6 m)
- Strong wet braking in two of three tests (42.5 m vs 46.1 m; 27.2 m vs 29.5 m), supporting safety-focused driving
- Outstanding wear and value in Autobild (50,020 km projected vs 38,420 km; 12.2 vs 16.4 price/1000)
- Good light off-road traction metrics in the SUV test (gravel handling/traction and grass traction wins)
- Higher dry handling pace in both tests that measured it (wins 2/2), aligning with a sportier steering/limit-driving focus
- Stronger aquaplaning performance overall (wins straight aquaplaning in both shared tests; also leads curved aquaplaning in the SUV test)
- Lower measured noise in both shared tests that recorded it (71.0-71.3 dB vs 71.7-71.8 dB)
- Better subjective comfort and dry-handling ratings where reported (Autobild comfort 7.3 vs 6.7; subjective dry 8.7 vs 8.0)

It is simply a better tyre in absolutely every single way. I drive like a ****, and these tyres just give so much confidence. I can brake stupidly quick in both dry and mildly wet conditions, even through the corners. They hook up so well and are incredibly predictable - they really bite the road and mitigate so much understeer in my 2006 Leon FR.
When there’s a more significant layer of water on the road they don’t... Continue reading this review using the link below
Conclusion
The Toyo Proxes Sport 2 is the better pick for drivers who prioritize higher dry handling pace and strong aquaplaning reserves-especially where standing water stability matters. It leads dry handling in both tests that measured it (e.g., 104.9 vs 103.6 km/h in the SUV test) and is consistently strong in straight-line aquaplaning (wins both shared aquaplaning measurements). The key caveat is consistency: in the SUV test the Toyo convincingly beats the Giti in wet performance and aquaplaning, but in Autobild the Toyo's wet braking is clearly worse and its short mileage projection heavily damages its overall result. Practical takeaway: choose Giti for braking + value-led daily use; choose Toyo for handling/aquaplaning confidence (and accept higher cost-per-km).
Key Differences
- Braking vs handling emphasis: Giti repeatedly wins braking (dry 3/3; wet 2/3), while Toyo more often wins handling speed (dry handling 2/2).
- Wet performance is inconsistent by test context: in the SUV test Toyo is clearly better in wet braking (55.4 m vs 60.1 m) and wet handling (86.5 vs 83.8 km/h), but in Autobild and the braking test Giti is clearly better in wet braking (42.5 vs 46.1 m; 27.2 vs 29.5 m).
- Aquaplaning favors Toyo overall: straight aquaplaning wins 2/2 (e.g., 89.9 vs 85.3 km/h in the SUV test), a meaningful advantage for heavy rain/highway stability.
- Running costs strongly favor Giti where measured: projected wear is much higher (50,020 km vs 38,420 km) and value score is substantially better (12.2 vs 16.4), implying lower cost-per-km.
- Refinement edges to Toyo: it is consistently quieter (about 0.5-0.8 dB lower in both tests) and scores higher for comfort (7.3 vs 6.7 in Autobild).
- Efficiency is split: Giti wins rolling resistance in the SUV test (7.68 vs 8.25 kg/t), but loses in Autobild (8.99 vs 8.61 kg/t), so expect no guaranteed fuel-economy winner across fitments.

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.
