Strengths — Kleber Quadraxer 3

Weaknesses — Kleber Quadraxer 3

- Dry performance: The Sport Master 4S shows competent dry handling and braking for its segment; Tyre Reviews and AutoBild list dry handling as a high point.
- Value proposition: AutoBild 2025 describes the Linglong as a “Kilometerfresser” with low cost — a budget tyre that offers acceptable longevity for the price.
Weaknesses — Linglong Sport Master 4S
- Snow and overall balance: The Linglong’s light weaknesses in snow were called out as limiting its final result in AutoBild 2025; combined with modest wet performance this pushed it to the bottom of that particular test (14/15).

Head‑to‑head conclusion
If you prioritize winter capability, comfort and a more balanced tyre across wet, snow and dry, the Kleber Quadraxer 3 is the better choice — it scored higher in tests and delivered reliable snow and aquaplaning performance despite a small penalty in dry grip and rolling resistance. The Linglong Sport Master 4S is best considered a budget option: good dry handling for the price and economical mileage but noticeably weaker on snow and overall test placings.
No direct “replacement” model is listed for either tyre on our site (the Quadraxer 3 follows the Quadraxer 2 as an update rather than being replaced).

Verdict: choose Kleber Quadraxer 3 for a better all‑round performer and winter confidence; pick the Linglong Sport Master 4S only if upfront cost and dry handling at a low price are your primary concerns.
