Linglong Grip Master 4S vs Toyo Celsius AS2
Across the dataset, Toyo places higher overall in three of the four tests, while Linglong lands one notable win with standout short stops in the 2025 braking comparison. Expect tight margins on dry, clearer gaps in wet/aquaplaning and efficiency, and a split picture on winter where Linglong often accelerates and handles better on snow, but Toyo typically brakes a touch shorter.
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 four tests which compare both tyres directly!
| Tyre | Test Wins | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Linglong Grip Master 4S | one | |
| Toyo Celsius AS2 | three |
While it might look like the Toyo Celsius AS2 is better than the Linglong Grip 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.

Conclusion
The Linglong Grip Master 4S counters with excellent value, lower cabin noise, and notably strong snow traction/handling, plus an eye-opening win in the 2025 dry and wet braking trial. However, its wet braking is more variable across tests and its aquaplaning reserves and efficiency lag. Choose Linglong if cost, comfort, and snow drivability are top priorities and you can drive conservatively in heavy rain; choose Toyo for balanced everyday security, wet-weather confidence, and lower running costs.

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.
