The truck retread division of Bridgestone no less. Back in the 80's it was regular to see a truck sporting an "I'm running on Bandags" sunstrip.

We ran Bandags on the drive axle of our old school buses for years, can't say I ever recall a failure on any of them and they wore really well.

Giti is not a ditchfinder company. They're good tyres. Maybe they're not quite Michelin, but they're among the better tyres out there

Giti is the "new" name for GT Radial, or as they were once known Gajah Tunggal; again we ran them on the coach fleet for many years and they were hard wearing and never seemed to succumb to the odd 50p wear pattern we ended up with on Contis.
