235/40 R18 Giti Gitisport S2 variants
Giti Gitisport S2 is a summer tyre made in total of 31 sizes, ranging from R16 to R16 - this particular dimension is R18, which means it fits to a 18 inch/457.2mm diameter wheel. 235/40 R18 is 40mm wider than the narrowest dimension (195) and 20mm narrower than the widest one (255). This tyre profile of 40 means the sidewall height of the tyre is 40% of the tyre width (235mm), which results in 94mm sidewall height. In 235/40 R18, there is only one possible speed index for Giti Gitisport S2 - "Y", which is good for speeds up to 300 km/h.

Ranked #9 of 9
Finishing 9th out of 9 competitors, the Giti Gitisport S2 showcased mixed results in its performance assessment. Despite its position, it excelled in specific areas, being unrivaled in Aquaplaning - both cross and longitudinal - as well as having the lowest rolling resistance among the tested summer tires. This indicates a noteworthy efficiency in wet conditions and fuel economy. However, its performance was not without drawbacks. The tire demonstrated a reduced grip in wet conditions, leading to traction issues. This limitation is a result of its higher weight and a cautious classification into the Label Class D. Furthermore, although the Giti Gitisport S2 performed exceptionally well in aquaplaning simulations, credited to its generous tread depth, it encountered significant instabilities during aggressive cornering, exhibiting pronounced load change reactions. The feedback and lateral support provided by the tire were also found wanting. Despite these challenges, the tire is recommended for economical driving, suggesting it might be a viable option for drivers prioritizing fuel efficiency and aquaplaning resistance over dynamic handling and wet grip.
