  • The Linglong Sport Master receives an overall satisfactory rating in driving safety. On dry roads, it provides only sufficient steering feedback and achieves an adequate rating in handling at the limit, with a tendency to oversteer during sudden evasive maneuvers and a slow stabilization time. Its braking performance on dry roads is also rated as satisfactory. In wet conditions, although the Sport Master achieves a good rating in braking distances, it only manages a satisfactory rating for aquaplaning resistance and handling, offering medium grip and suboptimal integration of longitudinal and lateral forces, leading to a satisfactory wet performance rating. Environmentally, the Linglong has a satisfactory impact, with satisfactory predicted mileage and good wear. Its efficiency is rated as good due to low fuel consumption and relatively low weight, but its sustainability, particularly for the tyre produced in China, is considered adequate.
  • Linglong Sport Master, sürüş güvenliğinde genel olarak tatmin edici bir puan alıyor. Kuru yollarda, sadece yeterli direksiyon geri bildirimi sağlıyor ve ani kaçamak manevralar sırasında aşırı savrulma eğilimi ve yavaş bir stabilizasyon süresi ile limitte kullanımda yeterli bir puan elde ediyor. Kuru yollardaki fren performansı da tatmin edici olarak derecelendiriliyor. Islak koşullarda, Sport Master fren mesafelerinde iyi bir puan elde etmesine rağmen, sadece suda kızaklama direnci ve kullanım için tatmin edici bir puan elde ediyor, orta düzeyde tutuş ve uzunlamasına ve yanal kuvvetlerin yetersiz entegrasyonunu sunarak tatmin edici bir ıslak performans puanına yol açıyor. Çevresel olarak, Linglong tatmin edici bir etkiye sahip, tatmin edici öngörülen kilometre ve iyi aşınma. Verimliliği düşük yakıt tüketimi ve nispeten düşük ağırlığı nedeniyle iyi olarak derecelendiriliyor, ancak sürdürülebilirliği, özellikle Çin'de üretilen lastik için yeterli kabul ediliyor.
  • Der Linglong Sport Master erhält in der Fahrsicherheit insgesamt eine zufriedenstellende Bewertung. Auf trockener Straße bietet er nur ausreichende Lenkrückmeldung und erreicht im Grenzbereich eine ausreichende Bewertung im Handling, mit einer Tendenz zum Übersteuern bei plötzlichen Ausweichmanövern und einer langsamen Stabilisierungszeit. Seine Bremsleistung auf trockener Straße wird ebenfalls als zufriedenstellend bewertet. Bei Nässe erreicht der Sport Master zwar eine gute Bewertung beim Bremsweg, erreicht jedoch nur eine zufriedenstellende Bewertung für Aquaplaning-Resistenz und Handling, bietet mittleren Grip und eine suboptimale Integration von Längs- und Querkräften, was zu einer zufriedenstellenden Bewertung der Nassleistung führt. In Bezug auf die Umwelt hat der Linglong eine zufriedenstellende Wirkung, mit zufriedenstellender prognostizierter Laufleistung und gutem Verschleiß. Seine Effizienz wird aufgrund des geringen Kraftstoffverbrauchs und des relativ geringen Gewichts als gut bewertet, aber seine Nachhaltigkeit, insbesondere für den in China produzierten Reifen, wird als angemessen erachtet.
  • Le Linglong Sport Master obtient une note globale satisfaisante en matière de sécurité de conduite. Sur route sèche, il ne fournit qu'un retour de direction suffisant et obtient une note adéquate en matière de tenue de route à la limite, avec une tendance au survirage lors de manœuvres d'évitement soudaines et un temps de stabilisation lent. Ses performances de freinage sur route sèche sont également jugées satisfaisantes. Sur route mouillée, bien que le Sport Master obtienne une bonne note en termes de distances de freinage, il n'obtient qu'une note satisfaisante en matière de résistance à l'aquaplaning et de tenue de route, offrant une adhérence moyenne et une intégration sous-optimale des forces longitudinales et latérales, ce qui conduit à une note satisfaisante en matière de performances sur route mouillée. Sur le plan environnemental, le Linglong a un impact satisfaisant, avec un kilométrage prévu satisfaisant et une bonne usure. Son efficacité est jugée bonne en raison d'une faible consommation de carburant et d'un poids relativement faible, mais sa durabilité, en particulier pour le pneu produit en Chine, est considérée comme adéquate.

Top 3 Linglong Sport Master Reviews

Given 60% while driving a Kia Motors Rio (205/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
I'm driving a Kia Rio 1.4 Hatchback in Brunei. The roads are quite bad, very uneven with occasional potholes. Bought a used car and it came with almost worn-out Bridgestone Turanzas. Unsurprisingly, the Linglongs perform worse than the worn-out bridgestones. The purpose was to fit cheap tyres for daily duties so it serves the purpose.

Dry Grip - Decent but not confidence inspiring. Turn in is slow and it's not progressive, no warning it could just under steer but mind you this is under very hard cornering that one shouldn't be doing in a Kia Rio anyway. Steering feel is a bit vague and doesn't communicate well when you load up the tyres. For daily running and occasional heroics around a roundabout or back roads, it's fine. But it's definitely not a sports tyre.

Wet Grip - Average and definitely not confidence inspiring. Straight line aquaplaning risk is moderate. Can comfortably cruise at 80 to 100kmph on rainy highways. It does get a bit sketchy when you hit patches of standing water, you do tend to feel like you lost steering. Currently do not possess enough courage or suicidal thoughts to push any harder. I would take it easy on these tyres in the rain.

Comfort - Recommended 100%. These tyres are brilliant is this aspect. It's very low road noise compared to bridgestones and they round off potholes and undulations very nicely. It says sport master but it's definitely a comfort master.

Overall - it's fine for a daily runner who's objective is to just drive comfortably for cheap. Do not expect any sort of sporty driving characteristics from the tyre. I cannot tell how it will wear yet but probably won't last long. But it's so cheap, wear doesn't matter anyway. If you prioritize driving fun and wet driving safety, it's better to upgrade to a better brand. But if you are tired of life, your car and just want to spend less as possible for you to get from Point A to Point B, this is the tyre for you.

Why didn't I buy some other tyre.. honestly :\

Given 80% while driving a Volvo S90 R Design (245/40 R20) on a combination of roads for 700 average miles
Very good tyres for that range of price. Dry and wet grip performance are quite good for a budget tyre. The wear i will see, only have 1000 km with them. Volvo S90 T8 Plug-in R-Design with a weight of 2150kg, 245/40R20.

Given 77% while driving a Audi A4 2.0 TDI 140 SLine (225/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 4,000 miles
Ling long sport master Very good tire for it's price. Easy can compare with Sava uhp, matador, kumho. Very good grip on dry, ok on wet road, a little bit understeering on high speed in corner. Overall you easy can drive on them for 3 season if you drive less than 15tkm per season
