Drawn from 4 tests. Updated November 26, 2025.
Across four summer tests, the GitiSport S1 shows a clear split personality: competitive to excellent in dry handling and value metrics, but consistently weak in wet performance and dry braking. It repeatedly posts top-tier lap times and subjective dry handling results, plus class-leading noise and low purchase price. However, wet braking and wet handling are regularly bottom-of-field, and dry braking lags the leaders, dragging down overall standings.
Overall, it suits drivers prioritizing dry-road agility and low cost over all-weather safety margins. The pattern of multiple last-place wet results indicates a systemic wet-grip shortfall, limiting recommendations for mixed or wet climates.
Sporty, direct tires in the dry with good steering feel- 2020 AMS 18 Inch Summer Tire Test (2020)
Very good stability and handling in the dry- 2018 AMS Summer UHP Tire Test (2018)
one of the quietest tires on test- 2018 AZ Summer AND All Season Tire Test (2018)
low noise level- 2018 AMS Summer UHP Tire Test (2018)
Long wet braking distances- 2020 AMS 18 Inch Summer Tire Test (2020)
understeer and oversteer- 2018 AMS Summer UHP Tire Test (2018)

Strong = top two of the field in that measurement. Weak = bottom two.
Sufficient - Strong in the dry but too little wet performance.
Conditionally recommended.
The GitiSport S1 might have finished in last place, but when you look at the balance of performance to price, this is one of the better cheap tires available, proving to be quicker than the Goodyear in the dry, better than the Hankook in the wet, one of the quietest tires on test and the cheapest to buy.
