Giti Hails Champiro ECO as ‘Fuel-Saving Champion’

Giti Tire (UK) Ltd representatives have hailed the firm’s latest passenger car eco-tyre as a “fuel saving champion.

Design wise GT Radial’s new passenger car tyre reportedly combines “excellent performance characteristics with low noise emissions and low rolling resistance.” The tyre, which is aimed at small and mid-size cars, is available in 29 sizes, with T and H speed ratings.

Crucially for the GT Radial brand – which is now distributed by leading wholesaler Micheldever, following a contract signing in April – the company says its Champiro ECO already meets the forthcoming EU tyre regulations that will come into effect in 2012.
