2 Answers
Giti 221 and 228 differ in performance and compatibility specifications. The specific differences are as follows: 1. Giti 221 focuses more on quietness and comfort; Giti 228 emphasizes wet road handling. 2. Giti 221: Tire specification 195/55R1 load index 687H, speed rating maximum load 545kg maximum pressure 300kPa. Giti 228: Tire specification 215 load index 55R1794, speed rating maximum load 670kg maximum pressure 300kPa/V. The functions of tires are introduced as follows: 1. Support the entire weight of the vehicle and bear the load of the car. 2. Transmit traction and braking torque to ensure adhesion between the wheels and the road surface. 3. Reduce and absorb vibrations and impacts during driving.
I've used Giti 221 and 228 tires several times, mainly replacing them on regular sedans and SUVs. The biggest differences are in comfort and wet grip. The 221 series is designed more for quiet operation, with less noise on urban roads, but it tends to slip easily on wet and slippery surfaces in the rain, which can affect confidence. The 228 series has deeper tread patterns and better drainage, making it much more stable when driving on highways in the rain, though it's a bit noisier, and you can feel slight vibrations in the car. In terms of size, they might differ, with the 228 being more common in SUV models and slightly larger. For daily driving, if you mostly do short trips in the city, the 221 is sufficient and cost-effective. But if you frequently drive long distances or in rainy seasons, the 228 provides a much stronger sense of security. I recommend considering your driving habits and road conditions before choosing tires.
