Giti GitiWinterW2 vs Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6
Drivers will see clear trade-offs: the Giti delivers shorter stops and stronger confidence in the wet and on ice, whereas the Maxxis offers longer tread life, lower abrasion, and marginally better fuel use. On snow, their performances are close with a slight tilt toward Maxxis for longitudinal grip, but Giti often steers and stops better in mixed winter conditions.
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 seven tests which compare both tyres directly!

While it might look like the Giti GitiWinterW2 is better than the Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6 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.

Conclusion
Maxxis Premitra Snow WP6, however, is the endurance and efficiency pick: markedly better predicted mileage (e.g., +43% in ADAC 2025), lower abrasion, and slightly lower fuel consumption. On snow, Maxxis often takes braking/traction by small margins, though its steering precision and wet stopping distances lag. If you prioritise stopping performance and confidence on rain-soaked winter roads, choose Giti. If you drive high annual mileage and value cost-per-kilometre with acceptable winter grip, the Maxxis is the better fit.
Key Differences
- Wet braking: Giti wins nearly every time, often by meaningful margins (up to ~11%).
- Overall rankings: Giti places higher in most comparative tests (e.g., 24/52 vs 44/52; 16/31 vs 19/31).
- Snow longitudinal grip: Maxxis often edges snow braking/traction by small margins.
- Ice braking: Mixed, but Giti posts a significant win in ADAC 2024 (−7%).
- Longevity/abrasion: Maxxis clearly superior (e.g., 62,400 km vs 43,700 km; lower abrasion).
- Efficiency: Maxxis slightly better fuel use/rolling resistance in several tests.

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.
