This comparison looks at two budget all-season tyres tested in Autobild rounds: the Linglong Grip Master 4S (our rating: 58%) and the Toyo Celsius AS2 (our rating: 54%). Both are positioned as value-oriented, high-mileage allround tyres — below you’ll find a concise summary of test results, strengths and weaknesses, and a clear verdict to help buyers decide.


Test positions and summary of results

  • Autobild (37 tyres): Toyo Celsius AS2 placed 12th, Linglong Grip Master 4S placed 14th.

Strengths and weaknesses



Linglong Grip Master 4S — key test feedback



  • Strengths: Secure handling on dry roads, good ride comfort, and high mileage — good value for long-distance drivers.

  • Weaknesses: Noticeably weaker on wet and snowy surfaces; only moderate aquaplaning reserves. Expect longer wet stopping distances and reduced snow traction compared with premium all-seasons.

  • Use case: Prefer this tyre if you mostly drive on dry roads, value comfort and longevity, and want a low-cost all-rounder.


Manufacturer: Linglong.



Toyo Celsius AS2 — key test feedback



  • Strengths: Strong aquaplaning resistance and high mileage. Tests highlighted comfort and good exterior noise performance in some runs. Noted as a “kilometerfresser” (high-mileage tyre) with low operating cost.

  • Weaknesses: Average winter qualities: understeering tendencies on snow and wet surfaces and extended wet braking distances in several tests. Handling is somewhat timid in low-friction winter scenarios.

  • Use case: Choose this tyre if you prioritize wet-weather safety (aquaplaning) and low running cost, and you value exterior noise comfort.


Manufacturer: Toyo.


Head-to-head verdict


Both tyres deliver excellent price/value and long mileage, but their trade-offs differ: the Linglong Grip Master 4S excels on dry roads and in ride comfort, earning a slightly higher overall rating, while the Toyo Celsius AS2 shows better reserves against aquaplaning and often places a few positions higher in Autobild tests.
Overall recommendation:

  • If you prioritize dry handling and comfort: prefer the Linglong Grip Master 4S (58%).

  • If you prioritize wet-weather safety and low noise with long mileage: prefer the Toyo Celsius AS2 (54%).


Both tyres are strong budget choices, but buyers should weigh winter / wet performance against comfort and mileage depending on typical driving conditions.
