Conclusion
Linglong Grip Master 4S offers strong value and respectable comfort and mileage, with an eye-catching dry braking win in the 2025 braking test (38.2 m vs 41.5 m). However, it trails meaningfully on wet grip, aquaplaning reserves, and all snow metrics-areas that matter most for year-round safety. If cost is paramount and you mainly drive in mild, dry conditions, Linglong works; for balanced safety in real-world all-season weather, Continental is the confident recommendation.

- Snow performance: Continental leads in every snow metric (braking, traction, handling, slalom)
- Aquaplaning: Continental holds better straight and curved reserves
- Efficiency: Continental lower rolling resistance (−20.3%) and slightly lower fuel use (−2.4%)
- Dry braking split: Linglong wins one 2025 size (38.2 m vs 41.5 m), Continental edges others
- Value: Linglong significantly cheaper (value metric +42.7%), while Continental commands a premium

Footnote
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
