In this comparison, we will be looking at two summer tyres: the Bridgestone Potenza Sport and the Giti Gitisport S2. The two tyres are manufactured by Bridgestone and Giti respectively. Both tyres have not been replaced and are the current models offered by their manufacturers.
The Bridgestone Potenza Sport, produced in Poland and Hungary, is a part of the UUHP (Ultra-Ultra High Performance) category and boasts an impressive rating of 91% by our experts. This tyre impresses with superior features like wet circle cornering, wet and dry braking, wet handling, dry handling, and wet handling. According to Autobild 2021, it performs very well on dry roads and shows good characteristics on wet roads, with a high predicted mileage and low wear. However, minor drawbacks included a higher tyre weight and higher fuel consumption.
Moving onto the Giti Gitisport S2, a UHP (Ultra High Performance) summer tyre made in China. While lacking an expert rating, this tyre differentiates itself with its impressive resistance to aquaplaning, both longitudinally and crosswise. It also has a lower fuel consumption as per Autobild 2021's summary, making it decent for efficiency. However, it has weaknesses on both dry and wet roads, with the lowest predicted mileage in the test and increased wear and weight.
When it comes to the mutual test positions, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport often secured the 2nd position, performing favorably in the total tyres in test for ADAC and Autobild. The Giti Gitisport S2, on the contrary, wasn't as consistent, ranking 15th, 10th and 9th in the ADAC, Autobild, and Autozeitung tests respectively.
In conclusion, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport seems to hold a significant advantage over the Giti Gitisport S2 in terms of performance, with only minor areas of improvement. The Giti Gitisport S2 could stand to improve in the areas of dry and wet road performance. Meanwhile, it does get points for its low fuel consumption and strong aquaplaning resistance.
A final verdict would position the Bridgestone Potenza Sport as a superior tyre overall in performance and features. The Giti Gitisport S2 does have its strengths but shows room for growth in key areas of performance.
