Drove them one winter on really heavy snow in the moutains no problem at all the snow grip was really impresive even against some premium tires. I had no problems never got stuck even when i was trying to get stuck i saw many people with premium tires and same awd having trouble but not with this ones. The only problem is Wear I think if ur winter is mild and temp are high the tires will melt away. About to mount them for this winter to see did they change after 1 year.

I bought the tires before going to the mountains with not much expectation. But there was a lot of snow on the mountain that the snowplow couldn't clear as much as it was falling. The car went through the snowdrifts without even turning on the traction control. After a few days, the sensor froze, which turned off my front floor, but I also went down through the snowdrifts to the first car wash without any problems.

Was hesitant to buy the LingLongs at first, seeing how there's not many reviews online.
I went for it thinking if they didnt work out i would just throw them away and buy other ones,
and if they did then I'd have found something that will keep saving me a lot of money in the future.
To my surprise the LingLong sport master winter has been fantastic for me.
This 2025/2026 winter started out very mild with temperatures around 15C, but then gone down to temperatures -15C with lots and lots of snow and ice.
The tyre performed spectacularly in the dry and great in the wet and in very deep snow.
Black Ice is a problem for any tyre and there's no tyre in the world that can save you when you hit such a patch of ice.
So by driving like a normal person on icy snowy roads I never had any problem.

The previous tyres I had on were Michelin All seasons and granted, they were 4 years old, the linglongs outperformed them in the wet and in the snow.
Strongly suggest saving money and trying these out.

First impressions of the tyre are very satisfactory. They perform well on dry and wet roads. I haven't had a chance to test them on snow and ice yet. Comfort is good, but as expected, the tyres are noisy and the car consumes more fuel with winter tyres than with summer tyres.

At the time of purchase, the tyres were 3x cheaper than mid brands and even 5x cheaper than premium brands. That's why I decided to buy them and check whether it is necessary to buy expensive tyres for normal driving conditions and usual driving style. My conclusion is that Linglong sport master winter is quite a good tyre for conditions where the roads are not constantly covered with snow and ice and that the 2025 auto express winter tyre test best describes this tyre.
