In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from China (
Linglong) against a tyre from a manufacturer from France (
Michelin). Generally,
Michelin summer tyres are slightly better rated (84%) than
Linglong (56%). In this particular case, the Michelin Primacy 5 has a better rating of 84% compared to 71% of the Linglong Sport Master. The first tyre test of Linglong Sport Master was done in 2023, compared to 2025 when was the Michelin Primacy 5 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
ADAC 2026 225/50 R17 test, where both the
Sport Master and the
Primacy 5 were tested.
