GITI Launches New Mixed Service Drive Tyre in the UK

GITI Tire’s UK operation has launched a new mixed service drive axle tyre specifically designed for “extreme all terrain conditions.” The new directional, M&S marked, GT686 is available now in 295/80R22.5, 315/80R22.5 and 11R22.5 sizes. According to the company, GT686 benefits from an extra deep tread depth and compounding developed to resist cuts and tread tearing and provide excellent self cleaning. Featuring a robust casing construction with sidewall protection, GT686 has been designed to provide excellent grip and deliver a high mileage performance throughout the life of the tyre when used in tough on and off road conditions.

GITI’s latest news follows what the company said was a “very positive” exhibit at the Commercial Vehicle Operator Show in April. It was here that the GT686 was first showcased also making its European debut at the show was the new GDL617, a long haul drive axle pattern available later this year in a variety of sizes. This new pattern features a compact tread design with a “multi-deep sipe arrangement” and reportedly benefiting from “the latest cool running compound technology.”

Commenting on the company’s appearance at the show, general manager Richard Lyons said: “Our philosophy is simple, to be the easiest tyre company to do business with. We offer a comprehensive mission matched product range, fully compliant with all European regulations. State of the art research and development facilities including a European Test Centre based at MIRA, local technical and sales support and next day delivery across the UK.”

“Since its conception in early 2009 GITI Tire (UK) Ltd. has focused on building long term sustainable relationships with high quality service providers, strategically located and able to provide a class leading level of service to fleets, large and small. The investments the company has made in key areas such as the recruiting of experienced and highly motivated staff, customer events and shows like the CV Show, advertising and promotion, marketing and brand building has resulted in a rapidly expanding footprint across the UK in a very short space of time, this combined with the delivery of high quality products and service we are now achieving considerable success with the award of many new fleet contracts specifying GT Radial product,” Lyons added.
