Autobild Winter tyre test 2025 215/55 R17
satisfactory
Ranked #10 of 12
10th out of 12 competitors — Final rating: Satisfactory. The tyre delivered respectable dry-road performance and is attractive due to its low purchase price, but it proved noticeably weaker on wet roads and in snow handling. It did not top any discipline and there were no specific properties where it finished last.

satisfactory
Ranked #19 of 20
19th of 20, the Linglong Sport Master Winter received a final rating of "Satisfactory"; testers found it delivered reduced traction on snow, generally weaker performance in wet conditions and relatively high rolling resistance. It was inexpensive and showed its best behavior on dry surfaces, but those advantages couldn't compensate for the deficits on snow and in the wet, and it did not finish last in any specific measured property.

Autoexpress Winter tyre test 2025 225/45 R17
Ranked #5 of 8
5th of 8 competitors, final rating: '-'. LingLong’s debut surprised by topping the dry handling lap, feeling almost like a summer tyre with loads of grip and direct responses, but the car felt heavier and less biddable overall. It delivered tidy, predictable snow performance with strong braking (4th) and safe, nose‑led handling (5th) though traction was weakest (8th). Wet braking (4th) and wet cornering (5th) were respectable but didn’t produce a quick wet lap, aquaplaning was disappointing, refinement sat near the back (7th) and it recorded by far the highest rolling resistance, making it the least economical here.

AutoMotorSport Winter tyre test 2025 215/55 R17
good
Ranked #8 of 10
8th of 10 competitors, the Linglong Sport Master Winter finished with a final rating of "Good". Testers described it as an affordable tyre with generally balanced performance at a reduced grip level: short braking distances on dry surfaces and respectable deceleration on wet, with somewhat heavy but controllable steering. It was comparatively weak on snow (limited reserves except for cornering grip), produced louder rolling and lateral noise in the cabin during cornering, and felt a bit jarring over transverse joints. It did not finish as best in any discipline, nor did it place last in any measured property.

Autozeitung Winter tyre test 2025 245/45 R19
Ranked #9 of 10
9th of 10 competitors, final rating: -. Designed for European customers and made in Serbia, the tyre ultimately fell short of expectations: it resists aquaplaning in bends but needs long braking distances on wet surfaces; on dry roads it offers short braking distances, confident handling and high comfort though wear is high; on snow it is quicker and safer than on ice but still shows overly long braking distances with only acceptable handling. It was the outright best in objective dry handling.
