Hot off the heels of its ‘good’ rating in the Autobild Allroad 2024 winter tyre test the GitiWinterW2, carrying the sidewall inscription Giti – Powered by Sparco®, is now available to order across Europe.
Initially available in 11 sizes with the prominent designation, the tyres are designed for high octane sports cars and SUVs with rims ranging from 17-21”, section widths from 225-315 and series sizes from 40-50 across speed indices H to W.
Giti Tire is the global automotive tyre partner of Sparco®, the world’s leading manufacturer of motorsport safety systems and racing equipment.
The GitiWinterW2 joins the ultra-high performance GitiSportS2 in carrying the Powered by Sparco® inscription in selected larger sizes.
Fabio Pecci-Boriani, Deputy General Manager for Product Planning PCR and LTR, Giti Tire R&D Centre (Europe), said: “Within the wider range of GitiWinterW2 sizes, the unique selection of Giti – Powered by Sparco® is dedicated to sporty cars and powerful SUVs, ensuring their owners cans continue to enjoy their vehicles in the colder months of the year.
“These selected sizes are embedded in the wider range of the GitiWinterW2, which has gained an excellent reputation since its launch and serve the market from the smallest city cars to the larger and most powerful SUVs.
“The tyre delivers a perfect balance between safety and performance, giving every driver confidence even in the most demanding road conditions.”
Overall the GitiWinterW2 range now stands at 62 sizes, meaning the pattern now covers 90% of targeted winter market demand throughout Europe. Rims range from,13”-21”, section widths from 165-315, series sizes from 40-70 and speed indices across T, H, V and W.
The tyre recently received a ‘good’ rating in the Autobild Allroad 2024 winter tyre test with the publication noting good traction and lateral stability on snowy surfaces, good aquaplaning safety reserves and a low ride noise.
This latest test is reinforced by last year’s SportAuto test where the tyre also received a ‘good’ rating, as well as achieving a successful ranking among the top 15 best winter tyres, from an initial selection of 55, in the 2024 Autobild Winter Tyre Super Test.
Originally launched in August 2021, the tyre delivers improved dry dynamics, wet braking and aquaplaning resistance, all while maintaining the first generation’s excellent snow and ice grip and traction.
Designed using AdvanZtech, the Giti Tire’s globally-integrated, company-wide R&D system, the manufacturer’s key targets for the tyre were a quiet and comfortable ride, safety without worry and precise control.
The GitiWinterW2 was designed and engineered at Giti Tire’s European Research & Development Centre in Hannover, Germany with testing at the company’s MIRA facility in the UK, Germany, Idiada in Spain and Finland.
