Giti GitiSportS2

Previous Giti Tyres Ultra High Performance Summer

The Giti GitiSportS2 is a mid-range ultra high performance summer tyre that feels impressively refined for the money, with many drivers praising its quiet, comfortable ride and confident everyday grip. Its standout trait is strong aquaplaning resistance, giving reassuring stability in standing water. However, independent testing repeatedly highlights clear limitations in outright braking and handling grip in both wet and dry conditions, meaning it's less convincing when pushed hard than its price might suggest.

Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tyre tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

The Giti GitiSport S2 achieves a "satisfactory" overall rating due to its "satisfactory" performance in both driving safety and environmental performance. On dry roads, it offers adequate feedback but lacks precision, is sensitive to temperature, and exhibits unstable handling. Its braking is good. On wet roads, its braking is only satisfactory, below average compared to the test field. Its handling is nearly satisfactory, with low grip leading to understeer or oversteer and imprecise control. However, it performs well in aquaplaning. Its environmental performance is limited by below-average projected mileage and abrasion. It achieves a good score for fuel efficiency due to low fuel consumption, but the high weight results in an only satisfactory rating.

The Giti Sport S2 delivered good aquaplaning reserves and balanced driving dynamics with a low rolling resistance that helps with fuel efficiency. It performed adequately in most test categories without excelling in any particular area. Its downsides included mediocre lateral grip in wet conditions and restricted mileage of 31,080 kilometers, which affected its long-term value despite a mid-range price of €352. The tyre's reasonable all-round performance without any dangerous weaknesses secured it a "satisfactory" overall rating.

Top 3 Giti GitiSportS2 Reviews

Given 57% while driving a Toyota Wish (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 75,000 spirited miles
Fixed these tyres on my Toyota Wish 1.8A. They started off being quiet tyres and very responsive to the user's handling.

Around 7500 miles or 12000 kilometres, the tyres started to become noisy upon reaching 60km or more. Also, I noticed that the tyres started to go left and right. It has been a minor problem for now but I am not sure if it will get worse overtime. I have to counter sudden movement to prevent the car from swaying too much to one side.

The wear of the tyres are still doing fine. Overall, in view of the safety and comfort of my passengers, I decided to switch these tyres out.

For reference, the tyres were running in a country with tropical rainforest climate and all summer season conditions like Malaysia.

Very good tyres at a very affordable price.
Comparing it with my previous Toyo Proxes SUV. Initial feel this Giti S2 SUV is better. EV ready tyres is made for low noise, better low resistance and better grip.

Given 80% while driving a Volvo XC60 (255/40 R21) on mostly motorways for 600 spirited miles
I put these S2 on a Volvo xc60 to replace the original pzero
Have only driven about 7.000km on them. Primarily at hugh speed highway
The tyres are very comfortable, extremely quiet (even withiut the foam inside like the Pirelli)and very precise on dry roads. Consumption seems better than on the original pirelli.
On wet roads it feels well balanced and secure. Only issue on cornering on wet and slippery roads the Tyres lacks some grips and the vehicle understeers. But probably others would too.
Price they are OK, but thinking of trying the new Kumho next time. They seem great value for money

Been using this tyre since October 2024, however during today balancing and Allignment check, 3pcs of the tyre was bloated and unusable, need to replace new tyre. Disappointed with Giti Tyre. Defiantly will not buy again. Piece of junk product from China.

Given 79% while driving a Volkswagen Arteon 2,0L Tsi (245/40 R19) on mostly motorways for 15,876 average miles
Been using this tyre for the past 1.5 years. Had to change it as the tyres were making humming sounds. It started to get louder over time (towards the last 2 weeks of usage). Despite the tread life of each tyres having at least 50% left to use, the humming sound was just too loud and kept increasing. I do perform tyre rotations & balancing every 10,000km to ensure its even. Total mileage used 25550km (15876 miles). Since the pricing for these tyres are so good, I decided to get them replaced with brand new S2's again.

These tyres are amazing and the pricing just makes it an awesome deal. Its decently quiet, comfortable and has a great grip on both dry and wet. Its a perfect tyre for daily commuting with spirited driving. Braking is excellent and the response/feel on the road is great. I recommend these tyres and suggest you try these out and get a feel of it. In the Giti tyre range, I would suggest you try their top range only (Sport S2 & Control P10), and if your tracking it would be (GTR3).

Youtube doesnt have much reviews on this tyre, thus you would likely be searching on this website (like I have) in terms of reading reviews on this tyre. Half the price of Goodyear F1A6 / Pilot Sport 5 / Conti Sport Contact 7, however the moment its fitted onto your vehicle, you will feel its as premium as these brands as well.

Great overall !

These tires are not strong enough. At speeds above 160, the car floats on them. I move unpredictably during sharper turns. They betray in critical situations. I went 100 around a corner that I normally drive at 130 and the stabilization flashed.

This isn't something I've noticed when testing, are the tyres brand new? Also I assume you've checked the pressures?
Given 94% while driving a Honda Civic 1.5T (235/40 R18) on mostly town for 1,000 average miles
This time on budget so decided to try it out. And it surprised me!! Dry road it grippy, wet road i dun feel slippery also. Previously using pz4 & ps5 both good tyres. The only different i can feel is the braking not as good as ps5 for around 5% and rubber compound feel bit softer dun no is it their new technology AdvanZtech which made them more comfort & quite. Anyway no regret! After all it a good UHP tyres with 320 treadwear too.

Given 91% while driving a Honda Odyssey JDM (245/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
Bought this for my Honda Odyssey. I love speed and cornering. For MPV, RB3 is a very suitable vehicle for me and my family. During my long distances traveling from South to North, West to East in peninsular Malaysia I think this tire performance (GITI SPORT S2) was very fun to drive. The dry and wet grip was good and predictable. Comfort was a lot better than the previous tire (MC6). My level of confidence increased immediately when using it at Karak highway. Road noise is also much better than MC6. It's hard to find a UHP tire with a level of quiet like Sport S2. Trust me. Also, the speed rating for this tire is Y, you can reach up to 300kmh!!! (if you have a big ball)

Given 77% while driving a Skoda (245/40 R19) on mostly motorways for 1,000 average miles
coming over from CSC7. what attracted me most about this tyre were the sidewall designs, it looks way better than the csc7, almost close to a ps5 design. noticeably the noise is much lesser than csc7 and alot less bumpy. in terms of pricing, these giti sport s2 are half the price of a csc7. if you are someone who is in search of reviews for this tyre brand/model, you are in the same shoes as me initially, but i decided on these tyres because frankly the pricing seems its worth it.

pros:
-quieter & less bumpy than csc7
-sidewall design looks strikingly better
-excellent grip and engagement in the dry
-low priced

cons:
-have yet to try out on above 80km/h speeds on rainy/wet roads hence i cant give a review on wet surface
-due to its pricing, alot of people will shy away initially, as there isnt much reviews to back up this tyre's performance

prior to using CSC7, i was using Goodyear F1A5 -> personally i would choose F1A5 over the GitiSport S2 as its much quieter & less bumpy. But for pricing sake, i wouldn't mind going with the S2 again for future change of tyres.
