Built for Winter - Giti Tire’s Advanced Defense Against Ice and Snow
As December sets in, temperatures fall across much of the temperate world, bringing frost-covered mornings, steady rain and snow, and stretches of icy road. These conditions quickly turn everyday driving into a seasonal challenge. Staying in control and ensuring safety on unpredictable winter roads is a top priority for drivers everywhere. With more than 70 years of global expertise, Giti Tire draws on real-world driving insights to deliver dependable, confidence-inspiring solutions for winter travel.
Winter Vehicle Care Starts With Tire Safety Management
As winter arrives, changes in tire conditions are often the easiest to overlook. Giti Tire recommends checking tire pressure at least once a month during winter. For every 10°C drop in temperature, tire pressure decreases accordingly. Maintaining cold tire pressure within the recommended range helps improve vehicle stability and braking performance.
Tread wear and rubber condition are equally important. When tread depth approaches the wear indicator, tires should be replaced promptly. When parking, try to avoid damp areas, strong sunlight, and spots with residual de-icing agents to reduce rubber aging. Before driving, perform a quick inspection and remove debris lodged in the tread to effectively reduce the risk of tire damage.
When temperatures consistently fall below 7°C, or when roads are frosted or snow-covered, switching to professional winter tires becomes particularly necessary. Compared to regular tires, winter tires remain flexible in low temperatures and provide more reliable grip on icy and snowy roads, making starting, braking, and climbing slopes more controlled and confident.
Giti Winter Comfort WTR26 - Advanced Technology For Better Performance On Ice and Snow
Beyond proper maintenance, the true upper limit of safety lies in the technology behind the tires. Powered by Giti’s AdvanZtech platform and its “Ice Surface Adhesion Technology 3.0,” the new-generation winter tire lineup includes the Giti Winter Comfort WT26 and Giti Winter Control WT80. Covering mainstream sizes from R15 to R22, they meet diverse vehicle types and driving needs.
The WT26 is positioned as a premium comfort winter tire. Its sponge rubber compound rapidly absorbs the water film on icy surfaces, while its 3D interlocking tread enhances tread rigidity. Snow-breaking grooves and high-density sipes provide stable grip on ice and snow while effectively reducing road noise—making winter commutes quieter and more reassuring.
Giti Winter Control WT80 - Winter Travel Is A Systematic Safety Collaboration
The WT80 targets drivers who prioritize handling performance. Its bionic tread pattern and densely arranged sipes create a “brush effect” on ice, improving braking and steering response. Bionic grooves and snow-pressing chamber designs enhance snow traction. Combined with PDT 3.0 noise optimization technology, it delivers precise control and driving comfort—even at high speeds.
Safety goes beyond tires. Giti Tire recommends that drivers also inspect vehicle lighting, braking, and steering systems before winter travel to ensure visibility and control remain optimal. Choose windshield washer fluid with an appropriate freezing point based on local temperatures to prevent freezing.
During driving, remove fog promptly, use lighting properly, and maintain a steady driving rhythm on slippery roads. For electric vehicle owners, pay special attention to battery condition in winter and avoid leaving vehicles parked for long periods in extremely low temperatures with low charge levels. When washing the car, choose sunny midday hours and use warm water to reduce the impact of thermal expansion and contraction on paint and glass.
These seemingly small details together form the “safety foundation” for winter driving.
In the face of ever-changing and demanding winter road conditions, adopting scientific driving practices and maintaining a calm, cautious mindset can effectively reduce risks. Giti Tire safeguards every journey with continuously evolving product performance and rigorous safety standards—building a dependable line of defense for drivers. With professionalism and meticulous care, Giti responds to winter driving needs—making every winter journey safer and more composed.
