In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from China (
Linglong) against a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Kumho). Generally,
Kumho summer tyres are slightly better rated (60%) than
Linglong (55%). In this particular case, the Kumho Ecsta HS52 has a better rating of 74% compared to 67% of the Linglong Sport Master. The first tyre test of Linglong Sport Master was done in 2023, compared to 2022 when was the Kumho Ecsta HS52 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
ADAC 2026 225/50 R17 test, where both the
Sport Master and the
Ecsta HS52 were tested.
