GITI Tire Boosts Winter Range
GITI Tire is attempting to improve its foothold on the European winter market, building upon the Champiro range. The company, which is headquartered in Shanghai, China, is a self-styled top quality tyre supplier, and is the largest manufacturer in the booming tyre-producing nation. GITI accesses the European market through its sales and marketing office in The Netherlands.
The Champiro WT-Plus is a high-performance winter tyre for the premium passenger car sector, offering a full silica compound for optimal wet traction and a reduced rolling resistance. The company stresses the additional benefits, which include a directional tread design complete with variable shoulder blocks to increase cornering traction and stability, helping drivers achieve a quiet and comfortable drive; a circumferential centre rib providing optimum stiffness resulting in precise handling in all winter road conditions; and an advanced sipe design, which aids braking and traction properties on ice and snow, thus placing the WT-Plus within the sector addressing harsh winter conditions. The company is clearly confident in the Champiro’s ability to tackle competition in this segment, as it is increasing size options to cover 14 inches to 16 inches; from 185/70 R14 right through to 205/55 R16.
