Been using this tire since October 2024, however during today balancing and Allignment check, 3pcs of the tire was bloated and unusable, need to replace new tire. Disappointed with Giti Tire. Defiantly will not buy again. Piece of junk product from China.

Very good tire for my 2023 Lexus is 350 . 19 inch tires for my car is expensive, so I went with my favourite brand Michelin . Did 7000 km on them , in Quebec, Canadian winters . So far I am very satisfied with the handling, grip in heavy snow and icy roads. Very comfortable ride , very quiet to. Almost no wear noticeable. I highly recommend these tires .

These tires came stock on my 2023 camry xse awd. At first I loved them, they were quiet, comfy and handled good. My second season on them they got noisey as they wore down and wet handling got worse as you'd expect with wear. My biggest gripe is they don't last super long and are very expensive for how long they last. They are a tough tire though, never had any issues with potholes or anything and found out the hard way that toyotas oem rims will be damaged before the tire itself. They offer good performance but they just don't last and are too pricey. Got roughly 30k kms on them and they are worn down to the wear bars.
Hankook Ventus S1 evo 3 rated 70% while driving a Tesla Model 3 LR

Had these tire's fitted as stock from Tesla and they have been really good reliable tires. I don't have anything to compare them to on the Model 3, dry grip has been excellent but I have experienced times on wet roads where the cars stabilization control has taken over. Not sure if this is just an over aggressive stabilization control on the car though. The most impressive thing on this tire is the tread wear, it's just reached 70,000KM and there is still some treadwear left on them, I reckon they can go for another 5,000KM but given their age (5 years), I will get them replaced. Thank you Hankook for a safe 70,000KM's.
Continental TrueContact Tour 54 rated 86% while driving a Tesla Model 3 LR

After premature wear on Pure Contact LS(lasted only 30K with normal spirited driving on Tesla M3 AWD), decided to give the newer version Tour 54, due to projected better wear. Initial drive was on light rain, with fantastic grip and subsyantially reduced noise(even without the noise absobing foam). Also found the handling to be much better with lower tire pressure in low 40s(psi), with very good cushioning. In general very happy with lower road nouse, better handling and comfort, with unexpectedly excellent wet road performance.

Unacceptable wear with even gentle city driving. 10000km and down to 2mm on front and 4mm on rear. Worst I have ever se n
Kormoran Kormoran UHP rated 77% while driving a Ford Mondeo Titanium X Sport

Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 average miles
Having used these for 25k miles on an almost 2 ton car they have served me really well. Commute is 1/3 country roads, 1/3 A road and 1/3 motorway. After 2 years they are now reaching their wear indicator so very good durability. Dry grip is very good. Wet can be a little sketchy if the roads are greasy but pretty predictable. Resistant to most winter potholes, ie. no real damage after hitting a couple of decent sized craters. Will be replacing these with the same again next month.

Good overall tire, but not great, it's more towards eco with good range and low rolling resistance. Wet grip is not too good, but it's very progressive on the limit. Comfortable tires for daily use.
Hifly HF805 rated 56% while driving a Peugeot 508 SW 1.5 HDI GT LINE
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 average miles
Driving on a combination of roads for 25000 average miles
These tires came with an used 2012 Peugeot 508 SW GT Line with relatively low mileage on them (I think less than 25000KM). The front tires I put new Michelin Pilot Sport 5, and these HiFly HF805 my tire shop recommended to put on the rear until I am ready to get matching Michelin tires. I drive short distance in the city and about 25-30KM on the highway regularly to commute and these tires are comfortable and handle well on dry roads. They also handle well even in heavy rain as long as I don't try to curve suddenly over 30KM/h. On dry road, my car can do a sharp curve with these tires at 50KM/h without losing control. However, on wet road, at 50KM/h the car started to look rear grip, swaying left and right strongly before I regained control. So I learned not to exceed 35KM/h on wet road when cornering. They did well on long distance driving, even at 150KM/h, without any instability. However, recently my car began to show a warning of low tire pressure on on side. I checked the tire pressure and it was a bit low, and I inflated all the tires to the correct level. However, less than a week later, the car showed a warning that the tire on the other side may be punctured or flat. I checked the other tire and it was a bit low but not flat. Fortunately I live close to a trusted tire shop and I took my car there. Initially we suspected it may be due to a nail puncture. However, as you can see in the photo, once he removed a tire, from the inner side, there are two visible crack on the sidewall! After he removed the other tire, it showed even a bigger crack on the inner side. I had been driving for most of my life and the many tires I used never exhibited such symptom. The cracks weakened the structural integrity of these tires and it will be a matter of them before they shred under high speed driving. I was lucky to have caught this in time.
Since my car has 19-inch wheels, good tires don't come cheap. I understand the reason why the previous owner put these on. They are less than 80 euros each, compared to say some mid-level brand like Nexgen which still cost 150 euros each. What I ended up replacing them is Michelin Pilot Sport 5, and they cost 220 euros each! But they can corner with no problem at 50km/h on wet road without causing the car to sway like a fishtail. They are also not going to have cracked sidewalls after 25000KM of driving.

These were my first all season tires, I have owned this car for almost 5 years & before these tires i had goodyear asymmetric 5s fitted, which is what i will compare the vectors to.
If you are just a regular driver just doing some normal driving, you cannot tell these are a winter biased all season tire, I will say however going from the asymmetric to the vector, the dry braking is easily the biggest fault, if you need to do some heavier braking in the dry, the tires almost feel like they are gliding over the road surface and you really have to press the pedal, The dry handling is similiar if the tires are cold, they glide over the road instead of griping it. If you have been driving on the tires for a while, example, an hour on the motorway & then have to do some quick B-roads, the tires offer so much more grip. If you like to drive quick often, these tires are probably not the best choice.
In the wet, they are ok on the motorway but do wash out if you take a corner a bit to lively, wet braking is fine though.
We didn't get much snow this year in my area but i know for sure that i wouldn't have made it home on the asymmetrics with the little snow we did get and i can actually reverse up my driveway when there is snow on it. I don't know how they would handle really heavy snow but i'd imagine you'd still make it home.
The biggest thing with these tires though, which is why i'd buy them again is wear, after 1 year & 13500 miles, all four tires still have over 6mm of tread(i rotated them front to back after 9000 miles) normally i'd be shopping for new tires after this mileage but to still have so much useable life left at this point is remarkable.
A good choice, just wish they were a tiny bit better in the dry.

After 3 years the sidewalls are completely cracked to the point questioning the safety of this product. Bridgestone support Czechia was provided with photos and manufacture date and didnt even bother to respond. Never more Bridgestone.
