Here in Brittany (Western France), I'd say that both variants are equally
frequent.
But I've never been specifically watchful (should that be earful?) when
in town as opposed to when in the countryside or small public forests.
So it may be the case that, even here, cities' Great Tits are mostly,
if not exclusively, tuned to "ti-tuu".

Take care.
