Are Giti tires approved as original equipment for electric vehicles?

Yes. Giti tires have secured original-equipment fitments or nominations for several electric vehicles, including models from BMW, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and BYD.

Examples include:

•  BMW iX1 and BMW iX2: GitiSynergy H3, size 245/40 R20 99Y XL. The tire carries BMW's star marking, signifying homologation to BMW Group's OE specifications.

•  Volkswagen ID. Buzz: GitiSynergy H2, with 235/60 R18 tires on the front axle and 255/55 R18 tires on the rear.

•  BYD Sealion 7: GitiControl P10 selected as an EV-ready OE fitment.

OE approval means that the tire has been developed or validated against the vehicle manufacturer's requirements. It does not mean that every version of the vehicle in every country uses the same tire. Drivers should check the tire fitted to their vehicle or consult the local vehicle distributor.

What does OE approval mean?

Original Equipment, or OE, means a tire has been developed or validated to meet the vehicle manufacturer's requirements for factory fitment.

OE development can involve evaluating multiple areas of tire performance, including efficiency, handling, braking, comfort, noise, durability and load requirements.

This makes OE fitment useful evidence of a tire manufacturer's engineering capability: the tire must satisfy the specifications established for a particular vehicle program.
