Strengths and weaknesses
- Linglong Grip Master 4S
- Strengths: Secure handling on dry roads, comfortable ride quality, and high mileage — good value for price.
- Weaknesses: Noticeably weaker in wet and snowy conditions and only moderate resistance to aquaplaning; not a top choice if your priority is winter performance or heavy rain braking.
- Fulda MultiControl

- Weaknesses: Very low overall rating and consistent bottom‑quarter finishes in Autobild tests — indicates deficiencies across measured areas compared with peers.
Verdict — which to choose?
For buyers seeking the better performer of these two, the Linglong Grip Master 4S is the clear choice: it offers a balanced mix of dry handling, comfort and mileage at an attractive price, and it consistently ranks well ahead of the Fulda in comparative tests. The Fulda MultiControl did not show competitive test results in the sources we track and carries a very low overall rating, so we cannot recommend it over the Linglong unless there are specific fitment or availability reasons.
