Previous Giti Tires Premium Touring Summer Next

The Giti GitiSynergyH2 is a mid-range summer touring tire that focuses on value, offering respectable everyday performance for the money. It tends to feel secure enough in normal dry driving and can be reassuring in standing water, but it does not consistently match class leaders when grip demands rise. Comfort and refinement are a recurring sticking point, with noise and harshness frequently mentioned.

2026 Summer ECO Tire Test

195/55 R16 • 2026

8^th/8

The Giti Synergy H2 carries an ambitious A/A/A EU label - the best possible ratings for rolling resistance, wet grip, and noise - but the test results do not support those claims. Wet braking is the worst in the field at 43.8 meters, and wet grip scores are consistently near the bottom. On dry roads, it is sluggish and imprecise but still safe and manageable, with reasonably comfortable ride quality. Rolling resistance lab results place it second behind Continental, which is decent but not the class-leading performance the A label implies. The article concludes that the gap between label and actual performance is more about optimistic self-labeling than poor engineering. Manufactured in China, it finishes last in the overall ranking.

Review Summary

Based on 19 user reviews

Most drivers find the Giti GitiSynergyH2 strong in wet grip and good value, with several high-scoring reviews praising confidence in rain and acceptable dry performance for the price. However, a sizable minority-particularly VW Caddy/T-Cross owners-report poor comfort, noise, vague steering/handling, and some safety concerns at higher speeds. Durability feedback is mixed: a few high scorers note slow wear, while others report premature shoulder wear. Overall sentiment is mixed-to-leaning negative given the volume and weight of low/mid reviews, with wet performance as the standout positive.

Tires were handling fine although I haven't tried other tires with this vehicle. Wear was extreme!! Totally worn out after 29000 km under mild driving behaviour and not a particularly high load.

Given 41% while driving a Volkswagen Caddy (205/60 R16) on mostly town for 7,000 average miles

Was very disappointed to find VW had fitted these tires to my new 2024 Caddy. Handled ok in wet and dry conditions. Drove across some level grass outside a job and got stuck on the flat. Even worse in snow, had no confidence taking it out if there’s a chance of snow. Changed the tires after 7000 miles. I would never recommend these tires

Given 70% while driving a BMW 320d efficient dynamics (205/60 R16) on mostly town for 15,000 average miles

I previously reviewed these a couple of years back shortly after having them fitted to my car. This is an updated review to report on wear. I am really disappointed that after only 15,000 miles, I have to buy new tires due to extreme wear on the shoulders. Still plenty of meat in the middle, but the shoulders were worn down to the cord. Wheel alignment was done at the point of fitting on a Hunter machine, and a repeat alignment for my new tires showed that it wasn't much out. I have also kept on top of the pressures religiously. I suspect this is the reason they are cheap, seems like a design flaw to me. Attached photos show the wear pattern on my rear tires. These haven't worn quite as badly, but aren't far behind.

Depending on the year of your 3 Series, they can be pretty well known for poor wear on factory setup so that might be a factor too.

Given 50% while driving a Volkswagen Caddy (205/55 R16) on mostly motorways for 12,000 spirited miles

In February 2024 I acquired a new vw Caddy 5 for my company, to my great surprise it was equipped with this brand of GITI tires that I have never heard before, knowing that my partner acquired the same vehicle in October 2023 but which was equipped with Hankook Ventus Prime 4 tires, I used his vehicle for 5 months until receiving my vehicle. With Hankook tires, I did not encounter any problem in behavior on the highway whether on dry or wet, even at high speeds 180-190 km / h and in bends, the vehicle was perfectly stable with good road holding. Unfortunately, upon receiving my vehicle fitted with GITI Synergy H2 tires, I felt a great deal of discomfort and a painful effort in controlling the vehicle on the highway, especially at speeds above 130 km/h, until one day, in order to avoid a flying MDF plate, I almost lost control of the vehicle, which slid the rear wheels at 140 km/h, and on dry roads, I needed nerves of steel to countersteer several times at this speed and get back on track. After this incident, I plan to get rid of these dreadful tires, which are already less than 30,000 km away. I think that the manufacturer VW has regressed a lot in the quality of its vehicles and doesn't care about fitting anything.

Given 82% while driving a Subaru Legacy IV (BP) 2.0i wagon (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 2,000 easy going miles

I have them for only 3000km on my Subaru Legacy 2.0 and they are great. They are more than great on the wet surfaces and this is the most crucial of a tire for my opinion as in the dry most of them are perfect. If you want more... I am not so sure yet. I had in my car Falken 310 and Hankook ventus prime 3 and they are better than both of them. I have no say about how they will handle time and wear. The Hankooks were better than Falken in general (even if the falken was more a handling tire). My only problem with tme was that they were V speed rated and I wanted H but the merchandiser in Greece didn't import the V rated version.
I will get back after 15000 km.

Given 80% while driving a Toyota Agya (175/65 R14) on a combination of roads for 5,000 easy going miles

Quite an uncanny tire... It grips in wet like an expensive tire, and on dry like a budget tire but still doesn't compromise on safety. As closely good to Michelin XM2 I used before. It is slightly noisy and high rolling resistance BUT only on the first 1000km-ish I noticed. After it has break-in it is smooth and quieter. Have driven 8000+ KMs and the tread level is still at 85% more or less with calm driving. Definitely looks like a long lasting tires. No complains for its price.

I’m very surprised by the way the tire performs on wet weathers. Give me a lot of confidence driving on wet roads. Dry grip is surprisingly quite normal as what you would expect from its price point. Ain’t that noisy a tire as I’ve used nosier ones before. It’s acceptable for me.

Bought these to replace a mix of Goodyear and Michelin economy offerings that came fitted to my car. Early days yet, so can't comment on wear, but so far I'm very pleased with them. Can't really tell the difference except they may be a little noisier. Driven sensibly on a mix of town roads and motorways. No issues in the wet as I've had with el cheapo ditchfinders in the past. For a double 'A' rated tire at £93 per corner fully fitted, they seem good value for money.

Have these fitted to a Peugeot 5008 Mk2. Got them at SGD105 a corner which is very price competitive with Chinese tires. They remind me very much of the first gen Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance in noise level (average) and grip. The two biggest negatives of these tires are the lack of steering feel due to a large dead zone and the comfort over bumps and expansion joints - they "ring" and you can feel the tire resonating. But for SGD105, you can't really complain. Would choose these again over Chinese-designed tires any day.

Changed to these tires five months ago and travelled almost 3500 miles on mostly highways and city roads. Impressed with these tires and performances, given the competitive price point. I had the T001 and XM2 on my ride, and would say that the Synergy H2 compares well, except in terms of noise levels. However, the wet performance more than make up this. Well purchase again.
