Which has louder tire noise, Giti or Goodyear?
2 Answers
Goodyear tires have louder noise. Goodyear tires are typical American products, with poor noise suppression performance. Their grip is second only to Pirelli, and the noise level is close to Pirelli. The advantages are wear resistance, harder tire composition leading to longer lifespan, and excellent grip and water drainage. The disadvantages are a tendency to pick up small stones and relatively high noise levels. Below are the performance characteristics of Goodyear tires and Giti tires: Goodyear Tire Features: Goodyear tires are relatively more wear-resistant, resulting in a harder tire body, along with strong grip and handling performance. They mainly focus on high-end tires, primarily equipping mid-range products of top-tier automotive brands, such as the BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, C-Class, etc. Giti Tire Performance: Giti tires emphasize wear resistance and long mileage, while also offering excellent comfort. Giti's global R&D team continuously pursues technological breakthroughs to enhance tire comfort, strengthen the rigidity of the central tread area, and mitigate and absorb vibrations caused by driving on complex road surfaces, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride.
To discuss whether Giti or Goodyear tires are noisier, as a driver with over twenty years of experience, I'd say tire noise depends heavily on the specific model and driving conditions. In my experience, Giti tires, especially their budget-friendly models like the Champiro series, tend to have harder tread designs, which can produce noticeably louder noise on rough roads—sometimes a persistent hum that becomes quite irritating. In contrast, Goodyear's series like the EfficientGrip or Assurance use softer rubber compounds and noise-reduction technologies, making them much quieter at highway speeds, allowing for easier conversation in the car. However, this isn't absolute—tire noise is also significantly affected by speed and road conditions; at lower city speeds, Giti tires can be tolerable, but the difference becomes clear on highways. My advice is to check professional test reports before choosing tires, rather than guessing based solely on brand, as excessive noise can be uncomfortable and negatively impact driving mood.
