Drawn from 4 tests. Updated July 7, 2026.
Across four 2026 summer tests, the Giti GitiSport S2+ shows genuinely competitive on-road performance in car/UHP fitments, repeatedly placing near the front of large fields (2/7 in a UHP test, 4/20 in Auto Bild's main summer test, 5/50 in Auto Bild's braking mega-test). Its clearest dynamic strength is wet stability at higher water depths, where it delivers standout aquaplaning performance and strong wet handling rankings.
However, results are highly size/vehicle dependent: in the 255/45 R19 SUV test it finished last overall (9/9) and was a clear outlier in wet braking and wet control. Separately, efficiency/comfort metrics are a recurring weakness in the Auto Bild 245/45 R19 test, where rolling resistance and comfort are near the bottom of the group, indicating the tire's performance focus comes with notable refinement/energy-cost trade-offs.

Strong = top two of the field in that measurement. Weak = bottom two.
The Giti Sport S2+ is the value pick of the test and the clearest sign that the gap to the big brands has narrowed. It finished second overall, ahead of several established premium rivals, on the strength of its wet safety and efficiency.
The Giti GitiSport S2+ finishes last in ninth place. The article describes it as a dry-road-focused tire with decent traction on grass and gravel. However, the testers note that it starts sliding early in wet conditions, and its aquaplaning reserves are limited. This is reflected in its wet braking distance, which is nearly ten meters longer than the test winner, and the slowest wet handling speed. Sand traction is the lowest in the field.
The Giti GitiSport S2+ finishes fourth and is one of the more surprising results in the test. It delivers competent wet and dry performance across all tests without a clear weak area, and its purchase price is among the lower half of the finalists. Rolling resistance is slightly higher than average, which will have a small impact on fuel consumption. The result represents strong value relative to its performance level.
