Ranked #8 of 16
Securing the 8th position out of 16, the Giti GitiWinter W2 managed to earn a 'Satisfactory' rating, depicting a middle-of-the-road performance in a competitive field. The tyre demonstrated secure characteristics on dry roads, maintaining a notable level of safety during sudden maneuvers and displaying satisfactory braking distances. However, its precision and feedback on dry surfaces were marked by slight weaknesses. Its performance on wet roads was commendable, securing good ratings in braking and aquaplaning, though it missed a higher mark in handling due to a tendency for early understeer, slightly affecting its precision. In winter conditions, it showed competent results in snow braking but fell short in ice braking, snow traction, and snow handling, indicating slight weaknesses with an early inclination towards understeer or oversteer. The tyre's environmental impact was considered satisfactory, hampered by below-average projected mileage and higher wear, while its fuel efficiency received a good rating despite the overall weight of the tyre contributing to an only satisfactory efficiency evaluation.

Ranked #8 of 9
In its evaluation, the Giti Gitiwinter W2 showed a mixed bag of results. While it excelled in aquaplaning resistance, particularly in longitudinal tests, and was recognized for its comfort, it fell short in several key areas. The tire demonstrated strong and secure, as well as sportive, performance on wet roads, except for its underwhelming braking capabilities. On the downside, it struggled with traction on snow and had a longer stopping distance on dry surfaces. These findings point to a tire that provides good aquaplaning safety but faces challenges in snowy conditions and requires more distance to come to a halt on dry roads.

Ranked #8 of 8
The Giti GitiWinter W2 finished last, securing the 8th position out of 8 competitors in its evaluation. Despite not achieving high marks overall, it stood out in the discipline of Aquaplaning - cross, where it performed exceptionally well. The tyre was noted for its capability to efficiently channel water away at higher speeds, albeit showing signs of reduced grip, sluggish responses, and unstable balance. On dry surfaces, while it surprised with balanced handling at the limit, its longer braking distances and relatively high rolling resistance were points of criticism. In snowy conditions, the tyre demonstrated adequate traction and braking power. However, it lacked the necessary lateral support for increased speeds, limiting safety reserves. Overall, the performance was mixed, with specific strengths noted in water dispersion but offset by other limitations in handling and braking.
