A serious company
The February event served to not only introduce the brand to North American journalists and retailers but also dismiss prejudices about Chinese-made tires.
GITI Tire Canada banks on competitive prices to attract consumers. One of the representatives on hand said that the IcePro could be up to 40-percent less expensive than the best-rated tires on the market, including the Bridgestone Blizzak. It should also undercut the Firestone WinterForce by about 20 percent, he added.
Showing just how serious the company is, the folks at GITI Tire Canada insisted on the attributes and merits that set GITI Tire apart from other Chinese tire manufacturers. It's now the largest tire manufacturer in Asia and the leading OEM supplier for the major Chinese automakers, including BYD, Chery, JAC and Haima.
For a few years now, GITI Tire has also supplied OEM tires to General Motors and Fiat for a certain number of vehicles built in South America.
Tire-wheel packages
GT Radial retailers will have one more incentive for winter tire buyers – wheels. In order to make their products more popular, GITI Tire will call on another of its assets, Seyen Alloy Wheel, a Chinese subsidiary which produced 4 million wheels in 2010. Starting this fall, expect to see that name on the Canadian market as well.
