This head-to-head comparison examines the Linglong Sport Master 4S and the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 across published test results and our aggregated ratings. Useful for drivers choosing an all-season tyre, the summary below highlights measured strengths, weaknesses and how each tyre performed relative to the other.
Overall scores and test positions
Continental leads clearly: the AllSeasonContact 2 scores 88% in our rating and placed 2nd of 15 in the Autobild test, while the Linglong Sport Master 4S scored 61% and finished 14th of 15 in the same Autobild comparison. Tyre Reviews data reinforces Continental’s broad strengths across wet, dry and snow categories; Linglong shows isolated dry-handling ability but weaker results elsewhere.
What the tests say — strengths
- Continental AllSeasonContact 2: Autobild and Tyre Reviews highlight excellent snow traction and handling, confident wet braking and handling, good comfort and low rolling resistance. Autobild’s 2025 summary calls it an “ausgewogenes Multitalent” (balanced all-rounder) with convincing performance on all surfaces. Manufacturer page: Continental.
- Linglong Sport Master 4S: Tests point to competitive dry handling and a value-driven proposition — Autobild notes it as a “kilometerfresser” with low cost-per-kilometre. However, Linglong shows measurable weaknesses in snow and some wet scenarios that prevented a better overall result.
Weaknesses and compromises
- Continental AllSeasonContact 2: The only recurring drawback is slightly reduced expected mileage compared with some peers (Autobild notes “leicht eingeschränkte Kilometerleistung”). Otherwise it delivers strong, balanced performance across wet, snow and dry testing.
- Linglong Sport Master 4S: Lower overall score and the 14/15 position reflect clear limitations: weaker snow behaviour and inconsistent wet performance that undermine its dry advantages. It is best considered where budget and dry-road performance are priorities rather than all-weather confidence.
Summarised verdict — which tyre is better?
Across mutual tests the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 outperforms the Linglong Sport Master 4S on almost every meaningful metric: better ranking in Autobild (2nd vs 14th), higher aggregate rating (88% vs 61%), and broader strengths in snow, wet and dry handling together with comfort and rolling resistance. The Linglong is competitive on cost and shows good dry handling, but it is a specialist compromise rather than a true all-season performer.
Recommendation
If you need a reliable all-season tyre with proven wet/snow capability and balanced dynamics, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the stronger choice. If budget and dry-road responsiveness are your priority and you accept compromises in snow and some wet conditions, the Linglong Sport Master 4S is an economical alternative.
