Giti Tire is building a passenger and light truck tire manufacturing plant in Richburg. The company is the official tire sponsor of the 127th Rose Parade.
The sponsorship and contest is part of Giti Tire’s new branding efforts. The company has made tires for sale in the U.S. under the GT Radial, Primewell and Dextero brand names, but many consumers are not yet familiar with the company name.
