In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Kumho) against a tyre from a manufacturer from China (
Linglong). Generally,
Kumho summer tyres are slightly better rated (59%) than
Linglong (56%). In this particular case, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 has a better rating of 74% compared to 71% of the Linglong Sport Master. The first tyre test of Kumho Ecsta HS52 was done in 2022, compared to 2023 when was the Linglong Sport Master first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
ADAC 2026 225/50 R17 test, where both the
Ecsta HS52 and the
Sport Master were tested.
