The Giti GitiComfort is a touring summer tire with some favorable dry-grip feedback, but recurring owner concerns over road noise and wet-road performance. Comfort is divided, and reviews covering several named variants limit how broadly the conclusions apply.

Road noise and wet grip are the main concerns with the Giti GitiComfort, criticised by seven and six of 12 owners respectively. Dry grip is more favorable, with four positive comments against two negative ones, while comfort is closely divided at three positive and two negative. Wet braking draws four complaints, around a third of owners. Most reviews are initial impressions, and several explicitly concern different named GitiComfort variants, limiting conclusions about one specification. One repeat owner becomes less satisfied as mileage rises, but this alone does not establish an ageing pattern.

Tires that came equipped on the car brand new. Okay grip when they were new. Not designed for an EV, can’t handle the high torque and squeal even with medium pedal push (people think I’m drifting or driving away angrily). Not optimal for rain or winter in general, and especially bad when going over a puddle of water in the summer. Don’t recommend buying them.
Initial Impressions53% 23,000 miles
Good dry grip, very bad wet grip specially when going over a puddle the car skids dangerously. The tire is not suitable for EVs, they’ve eaten through half the tread wear in the first year (25,000 Km). As for comfort they’re fine I guess not a lot of noise but noticeable discomfort over small bumps.

I bought the GMW ORA 03 that came with 4 GitiComfort, many said they are no good on dry or wet road surfaces. I am from Hong Kong, road speed limits are as follow:
- Urban: 50 or below
- Motorway: 70 -110
Overall experience, very stable and confident granted only if driving within the safety limits.
However, the road noise is very appearant.

Despite its name, this tire is absolutely uncomfortable. You can feel every irregularity on the road. It was very quiet during the first week; after that, however, it generates quite a bit of noise. Handling on wet surfaces is poor. Even with just a light drizzle-before the road is even truly wet-you immediately notice an increase in braking distance. You hit the brakes, and the ABS engages instantly, giving the sensation that the car isn't going to stop. Every now and then, the tire shifts on the rim; this causes vibrations throughout the car and, consequently, puts strain on the suspension. As a result, I have to visit the garage to have the wheel removed and the tire reseated. And about a month later, the vibrations start all over again. Before switching to the GiTi Comfort 225, I was driving on Continental PremiumContact 6 tires. On the positive side, I can mention that you don't feel the road grooves or ruts.

The good fuel consumption and generally pleasant ride comfort, complemented by good and stable dry grip, are offset by an extremely unpleasant road noise at higher speeds, as well as virtually non-existent traction in wet conditions; at least cornering and braking in the wet are better than the traction. But even at low throttle, it slips immediately after a summer downpour, and the road noise is similar to other tires at the end of their lifespan, where pronounced sawtooth wear on the sidewall creates the classic grinding noise. Here, it's practically from the first kilometer.
This is the worst tire I've ever experienced on a wet road on a test car (it was DR Evo 5 which I couldn't chose in the pop up menu). There is literally no grip - I have had more grip on snow covered roads with winter tires than I had on wet roads with these. They are also unpleasingly noisy and generally feel like they're made of plastic instead of rubber. In the dry they are "okay" in a sense that they're at least not dangerous. They squeal, grip is sub-average, but at least they seem like they try. In the wet they completely give up. Understeer everywhere, no traction, no braking. Dangerous tire, would not recommend.
My tire model is Giti Comfort 228v1. As a Chinese consumer, I'm unsure if this tire is sold in Europe or whether its formulation is identical to regional variants. Therefore, this review is for your reference only.
Road Conditions & Usage Scenario
Road conditions in China are generally good. I drive primarily on asphalt pavements, rarely on concrete surfaces, and almost never on gravel roads.
Usage Duration & Vehicle Configuration
I have used these tires for nearly six years, covering 77,000 kilometers. They were installed on a front-wheel-drive sedan with 160 horsepower.
Wear Status & Replacement Decision
The tires shown in the image were mounted on the front axle. You can observe their aging and wear: the outer drainage grooves are nearly depleted. Although the tread depth had not reached the 1.6mm safety indicators (minimum legal tread depth), I replaced them proactively.Only the 77,000km photo is current; others were taken earlier.
Tire Rotation Habit & Current Handling
I did not perform tire rotation—a poor maintenance habit. This resulted in significantly better condition for the rear tires. I have now moved them to the front axle and plan to use them for a limited period. Despite being six years old, I will replace them before my next long-distance trip for safety reasons.
Subjective Performance Evaluation
1. Limits & Handling
Frankly, I rarely sensed the tire’s limits; they almost never slipped except during snow or steep uphill starts. I doubt other tires would perform markedly better under such conditions. For handling, they responded swiftly and predictably during rapid lane changes without unnecessary instability.
(Note: As a non-professional driver without experience in top-tier tires, my assessment may be limited—but I find them satisfactory for daily use.)
2. Core Flaw: Noise Issue
Their most significant flaw is noise. Despite Giti’s official claims of "quiet and comfortable," they are extremely loud. This became starkly evident after I replaced two tires with genuinely quiet ones: the noise contrast between the front axle (Giti 228v1) and rear axle (new tires) is now dramatic.
I've used Giticomfort 228v1 for my front tires on my 2005 Toyota Camry as replacement for my Michelin Primacy 3st and I can tell right away that 228v1's comfort is quite different with Primacy 3st. It produces more low frequency sound and is quite noisy on high speeds, though it is not bad for bumpy roads. Wet isn't the best. ABS works heavily on normal wet braking which indicates it's not good in the wet. Its treadlife is average. Steering is less precise as Primacy but it's good enough for comfort. I would recommend this tire to those seeking for a budget friendly tire that is better than other cheaper chinese like Westlake etc. but don't expect really good dry and wet grip. Premium tires like Michelins will still be better in everything but at a premium cost.
The tires exhibit great levels of plushness, superior ride quality.
The tires also gave the steering greater heft. Made the car more stable and surefooted on highway speeds, but also less direct and agile around tight corners.
I have a GitiComfort T20 in my Camry XV30 and it is what it is. A comfort tire. It is decent on dry roads but performs poorly on wet roads. It locks up really easily in the wet and it happened to me twice. It also understeers a lot even at low speeds when wet. For everyday city drive in summer time this is ok. Would not recommend for those who may want some performance in the wet.
I was pleasantly surprised with these Giti COMFORT XA1's. I had used the Michelin CrossClimate 2's before which is an amazing tire, but they don't do them in 215/65/17. So we opted for the Manufacturers listed Tire ( our car is a US VW Tiguan SE 4-Motion 2.0 TSI).
Without bedding them in we drove up a mountain in torrential rain. The roads were so steep hairpins/switchbacks that on the way back down the Hill Decent Control kicked it.
Then we jumped on a highway for 150 miles in serious hard driving rain. I was impressed.
Now bedded in, they're great in the dry and the humid heat of Arkansas, the biggest issue here really is potholes.
For WInter I would happily buy a set of steel rims and stick cross climate 2's on, but at the moment these things are much better than I would have imagined. I would certainly buy them again
had equip (replace Hankook H308) these new Tire to my small car(Proton Iriz) to try on as it is still new for malaysia market, 1st impression is the road noise reduce drastically compare to hankook tire and the handling also improving. Try it for few hundrad miles and may notice that it also capable to handle some small uneven road bounce with confident. Turning Quit accurate but not as good as Bridgestone EP300
