When comparing the Linglong Sport Master and the Continental PremiumContact 7, we're essentially looking at two very distinct tyres with different strengths and weaknesses.


Linglong Sport Master


The Linglong Sport Master from Linglong is a summer, UHP type tyre. Our rating for it stands at 72%. In Autobild's tyre test, out of 50 tyres, it secured the 7th position. Its stand out features were exterior noise.


According to various test summaries, the Linglong Sport Master shines when it comes to short braking distances, dynamic handling in all weather conditions, and good lateral guidance. However, it's not without its flaws. The tyre has a very low mileage, a strong understeering dry handling and mediocre comfort.


Continental PremiumContact 7


On the other hand, the Continental PremiumContact 7 from Continental boasts a superior rating of 97%. It's a summer touring type tyre that's manufactured in multiple countries (FR, SK, DE, CZ). This tyre ranks higher than the Sport Master in the same tyre test, securing the 5th position. It excels in features like longitudal aquaplaning and rolling resistance.


Test summaries highlight the Continental PremiumContact 7's excellent aquaplaning reserves, short braking distances, dynamic handling behavior, convincing mileage and very good cost performance. The only draw back appears to be its price which is on the higher end.


Coming from a line of successful tyres ("Continental PremiumContact 6" and "Continental ContiPremiumContact 5"), it's no surprise that the newer PremiumContact 7 maintains this high standard.


Verdict


In conclusion, based on our rating system and collected test data, the Continental PremiumContact 7 outperforms the Linglong Sport Master overall. However, the decision between the two should be made based on individual drivers' needs. If exterior noise and budget are of more concern, the Linglong Sport Master is a fair choice. If, however, the focus is on performance in different conditions, aquaplaning safety and long term economy, the premium for the Continental PremiumContact 7 is worth it.
