What tires does the Savannah use?

The Savannah uses Giti Savero HT Plus series tires, with a tire size of 265/65/R17. Giti Tires, founded in Singapore, entered China in 1993 and has sales subsidiaries or offices in the United States, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Indonesia, and Brazil. It operates seven factories in five strategic cities in China. For the Savannah's tires, the following points should be noted during daily use: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread is worn flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Even small cracks can pose a risk of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool the tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, increasing air pressure. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool them, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the road.
I've been driving the Savannah for several years, and it usually comes with LT245/75R16 all-season tires. Brands like Goodyear or Michelin are quite common, especially suitable for transportation or daily use. The sizes are mostly 16 or 17-inch load-bearing tires, which can handle heavy loads but sometimes feel lacking in grip on mud or snow. If you buy a used car, it's best to check the production year and wear condition. After switching to Michelin, the noise reduced significantly, making long-distance drives much more comfortable. I recommend new owners to maintain tire pressure at 35-40 PSI to extend the tire's lifespan.
When it comes to the Savannah, I often help friends modify their tires. The factory usually equips them with LT-specification heavy-duty tires, such as 245/75R16 or 265/70R17. The standard version is the Goodyear Wrangler series, which is durable and economical, but if you're going off-road, you can upgrade to AT tires. Considering the different load requirements of models like the 1500 and 3500, it's important to check the load index when selecting tires. For daily use, all-season tires are sufficient, but don't skimp and buy mismatched sizes as it can cause uneven wear. Regularly rotating the tires can balance the wear, and it's generally safe to replace a set every 50,000 kilometers.
