Powertrac vs Giti — The Tyre Showdown Nobody Saw Coming

If this were a school report card, Giti would be the prefect with the nice blazer, and Powertrac? That one kid who quietly scores full marks but wears baju sukan every day.

Let’s break it down — because chances are you’re shopping for tyres, not a personality.

GITI — Polished. Big-brand vibes.

No hate. Giti’s got presence.
OEM on many cars, available at most workshops, and the marketing? Quite loud for a tyre.

What you get:

• Reliable dry grip

• Decent wet handling (though some models a bit slidey bila hujan turun serius)

• Treadwear is okay — not wow, not weak

• Price? RM260–380 per piece depending on size

Here’s the thing. Giti is good — but in the same way IKEA is good. You pay a little more for the brand sheen.

POWERTRAC — Price Yang Jujur

Powertrac doesn’t shout.
It doesn’t wrap its tyres in fancy European fonts or sponsor drift events.

What it does is deliver:

• Firm road feel

• Surprising wet grip

• Real-world durability — not “lab test” nonsense

• Price? RM210–250 (same size range)

Powertrac sits in the goldilocks zone — not cheap enough to be risky, not expensive enough to make you question your life decisions.

You’re paying for what you need — rubber that keeps you safe, rolls quietly, and doesn’t botak before your next birthday.

Editor’s Take:
Giti’s for those who like things shiny.
Powertrac? That’s the no-nonsense choice — the guy who doesn’t flex, but always shows up.

If your priority is honest pricing, solid grip, and a tyre that won’t shame your bank app…
Powertrac gets my vote.
Call it the kopitiam-approved daily hero.
