Conclusion
The Giti's story is about situational strengths: best-in-group straight aquaplaning speeds in most tests, quieter pass-by noise, and a lower price. However, its longer wet and dry braking distances and only satisfactory winter handling feedback limit its all-round appeal. For most drivers facing mixed winter conditions, Hankook is the safer, more durable and more efficient choice; Giti suits budget-conscious buyers prioritizing hydroplaning security and cabin calm.
Key Differences
- Braking: Hankook stops shorter in wet (e.g., 35.6 m vs 37.7 m) and snow (e.g., 28.1 m vs 28.4 m) across every shared test
- Snow capability: Hankook leads in traction and handling; Giti only matches in isolated subjective elements
- Aquaplaning: Giti excels in straight aquaplaning speed; Hankook superior in curved aquaplaning control
- Efficiency & wear: Hankook shows lower rolling resistance and far higher predicted mileage (ADAC +66%)
- Noise & comfort: Giti is quieter; Hankook can be louder but rides with better subjective comfort in one test
- Value: Giti cheaper to buy; Hankook offers stronger long-term value via safety, efficiency and durability

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.
