October 2018: Muscat, Oman: Giti Tires – one of the world’s largest tire manufacturers – recently announced that the company will supply their Highest-speed-rated original equipment tire, the GitiComfort XA1, for use on the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan SUV, which is being produced at the Volkswagen plant in Puebla, Mexico.
The 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan SUV is a turbocharged 2.0-liter TSI I-4 that features an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel-drive system with four driving modes for various on-road and off-road terrain, and Giti Tires say they are proud that such a high-profile Volkswagen model will be riding on their tires.
The GitiComfort XA1 (in size 215/65R17) was selected for the Tiguan SUV due to it being Giti’s new premium all-season tire specifically designed for today’s crossover vehicles. With a focus on ride comfort, low noise and crisp handling, it features Giti’s unique “Binary Resin Traction System” for outstanding performance in a range of off-road conditions.
Giti Tires currently serves customers in more than 130 markets across the globe. Their partnership with Volkswagen was a result of their ongoing commitment to excellence in providing products that are performance, safety, and durability driven – and due to their excellent reputation as a leading tire international brand.
Closer to home, on the roads of Oman, Giti Tires are focused on providing premium-quality tires for the commercial truck and bus sector.
Three of Giti’s flagship tires available for the sector include the GAM 831, GAM 833, and GDM 623 models, which excel in steering/driving/trailer function, and feature unique tread patterns geared towards local and regional road conditions. They are designed with high cut and chip resistance in mind over short to medium-distance journeys at lower speeds – in both on and off-road urban driving conditions.
They also provide outstanding fuel economy, making sure that business owners, transport fleet owners, and entrepreneurs can travel further with their business while paying less.
