Giti launches next-generation GAM831 mixed service tyre

Giti has launched the next generation Giti GAM831 mixed service all-position tyre in Europe. The tyre has been designed to deliver significant mileage improvements and improved robustness in severe applications. To achieve this, the manufacturer designed a new belt construction concept, which helps to optimise the tyre’s footprint and a new tread compound with improved abrasion resistance. The tyre is available in 13R22.5 156/150 (154/150) K (L) and 315/80R22.5 158/150 (154/150) K(L).

Giti says the new GAM831 meets the needs of fleets operating in ‘mild’ conditions with a high percentage of asphalt usage and a small amount of off-road driving, and ‘severe’ applications such as quarries and caves with very rough ground conditions. Specially developed in cooperation with Giti Tire’s European R&D Centre in Hannover, Germany, the Giti GAM831 mixed service all-position tyre is manufactured at the company’s state-of-the-art production facility in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Testing with fleets

The tyre was tested extensively in the field with two EU fleets to validate its performance. The operator whose majority of driving was on tarmac recorded a 15 per cent increase in mileage potential, while the vehicles utilised in the toughest conditions recorded exceptionally good durability and extremely high resistance to cuts, chunking and tearing.

The tyre carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol for approved fitment in markets with laws governing winter tyre use.

Tony McHugh, TBR Sales and marketing director UK at Giti Tire, said: “It was imperative we worked closely with our major EU fleet partners to develop the next generation Giti GAM831, because creating a mixed service tyre that operates equally well in mild and severe applications is a challenge.

“Thanks to their involvement, which they committed to over a number of years, and the excellent work of our R&D team we have not only developed a tyre which delivers a hugely significant improvement in mileage, but still delivers the highest levels of durability.

“The Giti GAM831 really does meet all requirements.”
