Giti Tire to launch first ‘A’ grade RRC truck tyre in Europe

Giti Tire is set to launch a full fitment of drive, steer and trailer truck tyres with ‘A’ rated Rolling Resistance Coefficient (RRC), starting with the Giti GDL272 Ecoroad.

The new long-haul drive tyre, available to order now in size 315/70R22.5, is the very first to be available in Europe with the highest grade in RRC.

The tyre sits alongside the Giti GSL271 Ecoroad steer in size 315/70R22.5 and the Giti GTL273 Ecoroad trailer pattern in 385/55R22.5, both of which will be available from Q4 2026, with all three to be displayed for the first time at The Tire Cologne this year.

The product line-up, which is focused on long-haul highway applications, has been designed from scratch and features the latest silica-based tread compound to reduce tyre hysteresis and heat generation which ultimately means lower energy dissipation, running temperatures and fuel consumption.

The new tyres have undergone in-depth field tests with a leading EU fleet to confirm performance levels in real-life conditions.

The Giti GDL272 Ecoroad will also be the first to feature a new two-sided Giti logo sidewall design for both information and aesthetics when rotating tyres.

Development of the Ecoroad line-up was led by Giti Tire’s European Research & Development Centre in Hannover, Germany.
