The calculation on this page does not use these results: our check showed that a test in another size does not predict wet braking better than the EU label for your size. They are shown here as measured facts.

Frequently asked questions
What is the wet grip class of the Giti GitiWinterW2?
On the EU tyre label, the Giti GitiWinterW2 has wet grip class A to B, depending on the size. A is the best and E the worst. The difference between class A and class E is about 18 m of braking distance from 90 km/h on a wet road.
How long is the braking distance of the Giti GitiWinterW2 on a wet road?
According to the Pidurdusmaa.ee calculation, the Giti GitiWinterW2 175/65 R14 stops from 90 km/h on a wet road in about 42 metres (Hyundai i10 III (2019+), without reaction time). The calculation is based on an independent test.
Is the Giti GitiWinterW2 suitable for an Estonian winter?
Better suited to milder winters. The Giti GitiWinterW2 is a Central European winter tyre made for wet and slushy roads. On ice and snow it needs a longer braking distance than a Nordic friction or studded tyre.
How long is the braking distance of the Giti GitiWinterW2 on ice?
Based on an independent test, the Giti GitiWinterW2 175/65 R14 stops from 50 km/h on ice in about 125.7 metres (Hyundai i10 III (2019+), without reaction time). Calculated by Pidurdusmaa.ee with the same model as the calculator. Use the calculator to see the result for your own car.
Has the Giti GitiWinterW2 been independently tested?
Yes. Source: Auto Bild 2024. The Giti GitiWinterW2 stopped on snow from 50 km/h in 29.2 m, ranking 5 of 33 tyres. All measured results are in the table above.
What sizes is the Giti GitiWinterW2 available in?
In the EU tyre register, our database has the Giti GitiWinterW2 in 46 sizes, for example 165/70 R13, 165/70 R14, 175/60 R16, 175/65 R14, 175/65 R15 and 175/70 R14. As a main factory size it fits cars such as the Audi Q3 III (2025+), Chery Tiggo 4 (2025+) and Chery Tiggo 8 (2025+).
