We also had a chance to take a few laps around a road course and do a short slalom exercise in Champiro HPY\u2013equipped cars. Based on our brief experience, it looks like GT Radial\u2019s claims should hold up. The laps weren\u2019t driven at the limit, but the HPY seems like it has a good amount of grip and returns good feedback to the driver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the media are not as familiar with GT Radial tires yet, they were very impressed with the brand\u2019s track record in Asia. According to Ilikecars.net: \u201cGT Radial provides original-equipment fitments on over 100 models in its home market, including General Motors, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz products. GM even named it supplier of the year in 2005 and 2006.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.caranddriver.com\/tags\/gt-radial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">read<\/a>\u00a0the entire blog by Car and Drive Magazine<\/p>\n<p><b>Click below to read additional event coverage:<\/b><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tirereview.com\/Article\/80550\/giti_tire_blazes_new_trail_with_new_champiro_hpyhpline.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tire Review Magazine<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.moderntiredealer.com\/Interstitial\/Global.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fNews%2fStory%2f2010%2f08%2fWhy-GITI-s-Champiro-HPY-Why-it-s-Y-rated.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Modern Tire Dealer Magazine<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/motorage.search-autoparts.com\/motorage\/Industry+News\/GT-Radials-new-tires-take-a-spin-in-Arizona\/ArticleStandard\/Article\/detail\/685096?contextCategoryId=41884\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Motor Age<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GT Radial Champiro HPY ultra high performance tire turned some heads with its performance in extreme heat at Firebird Raceway near Phoenix at an event held for GT Radial dealers and the news media.
