The Giti GitiSport S2 is a summer tyre that excels in aquaplaning with impressive safety and a low noise level. It also delivers stable dry handling. However, in some tests, the tyre showed limited grip on wet surfaces, a delayed response when steering on both wet and dry roads, and understeer in wet turns. Additionally, it had extended braking distances on wet roads and a higher price point than some of its competitors. The tyre had the best aquaplaning results in one of the tests and the lowest rolling resistance in another. Despite its shortcomings in wet performance, the latest update promises to provide better grip. Overall, the Giti GitiSport S2 is recommended for drivers who prioritize safety in wet conditions but should be aware of its limitations on those surfaces.
Giti Gitisport S2 is made in 31 sizes, starting from 195/45 R16 up to 255/35 R20.
