2025 Auto Bild Summer Performance Tyre Test P17 of 20

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.

Performance Analysis

Drawn from 9 tests. Updated August 26, 2025.

GitiSportS2 shows a clear pattern: exceptional aquaplaning resistance and generally low noise/comfort with occasional efficiency strengths, but persistently weak braking and handling grip on both dry and wet surfaces. Across nine summer tests it rarely threatens the leaders overall (avg pos 13.6), with multiple bottom-tier results in braking and dynamic wet/dry handling offset by repeated wins or podiums in straight and curved aquaplaning. Value/wear outcomes are often poor, further limiting overall standings despite standout safety margins in deep water.

2025 ADAC Summer Tyre Test

ADAC 225/40 R18

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.

Best in aquaplaning, low rolling resistance. But those who opt for the Giti Sport S2 have to accept compromises in wet performance. The latest update is said to offer noticeably more grip.

The Giti GitiSport S2 is an enjoyable tyre to drive, with a good blend of comfort and handling, however it needs to improve its grip in the wet, especially wet braking to move up the order.
