Continental AllSeasonContact 2 vs Linglong Sport Master 4S

Test Results

Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been three tests which compare both tyres directly!

While it might look like the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is better than the Linglong Sport Master 4S purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.

Key Strengths

Continental AllSeasonContact 2

• Excellent all-round consistency across dry, wet, and snow conditions
• Outstanding snow performance, especially traction and braking
• Low rolling resistance in all shared tests, supporting efficiency
• Comfortable and refined, with generally lower noise than the Linglong

Linglong Sport Master 4S

• Very strong dry braking, beating the Continental in all three tests
• Competitive dry handling, including excellent subjective dry feel in the Tyre Reviews test
• Attractive value proposition with a notably lower price-per-1000km result
• Good comfort and, in one test, lower noise than the Continental

Conclusion

Across the three shared tests, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the clear overall winner, taking all three head-to-head test rankings and consistently finishing near the very top of the field: 1st of 12, 2nd of 17, and 2nd of 11. Its advantage is not based on one standout discipline but on breadth: it is stronger in snow braking, snow traction, snow handling, wet stability, comfort, rolling resistance, and in one test also wear. The biggest real-world gap appears in winter use, where Continental's snow traction advantage reached 18.94% in AutoBild's 225/40 R18 test and its snow braking advantage reached 20.07%.

Key Differences

• Continental dominated the overall results, beating the Linglong in all three shared tests and finishing on or near the podium each time.
• Linglong was consistently stronger in dry braking, winning all three dry braking comparisons, with advantages ranging from 4.3% to 7.95%.
• Continental was substantially better on snow, winning every snow braking, snow traction, and snow handling comparison across the shared data.
• Wet performance generally favoured Continental, especially in the 225/40 R18 AutoBild test where it stopped 2.6 metres shorter in the wet and was 6.11% faster in wet handling.
• Continental had a clear rolling-resistance advantage in all three tests, suggesting better efficiency and potentially lower fuel or energy consumption.
• Linglong's value proposition is its main counterargument: it offered a much better price-per-1000km figure in the AutoBild test and also showed lower abrasion in that dataset.

Overall Winner: Continental AllSeasonContact 2

Based on the tyre test data and user reviews we have in our database, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 has demonstrated better overall performance in this comparison. However, as you can see from the spider diagram above, each tyre has its own strengths which should be considered in your final tyre buying choice.

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.
