British City Bus Transporter Finds Giti Tire Performs Well in Testing

Nottingham City Transport operates a bus system transporting passengers throughout the UK city. Following a two-year project to maximize return-on-investment, Giti Tire has been selected for further use for its successful qualities.

During testing, the GAU861 tires in size 275/70R22.5 were utilized on both steer and drive axles across the entire Scania chassis fleet, which includes both single and double deck bus bodies in 4x2 configurations.

Graham Smith, Engineering Manager for Nottingham City Transport, said: “When we were considering our options the key attributes were mileage, wear-rate and comfort versus cost, and the GAU861 has ultimately proven itself to be a very good all-position tire with excellent feedback from the drivers themselves. In addition, the value-added services have been exceptional, five mechanics have been through the Giti Training Course and all orders are delivered next-day. Overall I am delighted with both the product and the company.”
