The Linglong Sport Master is a summer UHP tyre, with a rating of 64% according to our tests. This tyre has not been replaced by a newer model, therefore the Linglong Sport Master remains the most up-to-date offering from the manufacturer. Though not boasting notable first equipment applications or special manufacturing, this tyre offers primary strengths in exterior noise reduction. In the comparison including 50 total tyres, the Linglong Sport Master has a commendable 7th position. However, reviewers found a few aspects to criticize: its short braking distances under any weather conditions, lackluster overall handling, and reduction in comfort.

On the other side, we have the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4, another summer tyre but with a UUHP performance subTyype and a higher rating of 85%. This tyre has been highly praised for its dry handling, wet braking, and abilities in wet circle cornering, wet handling, and Aquaplaning - longitudal. It has earned a strong 3rd position in the same comparison. However, tests flagged the tyre's limited kilometer performance and high price as compromising factors.

It's clear from these tests that both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses. The Linglong Sport Master exhibits great noise reduction but comes up short in comfort and handling. The Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 takes the lead with outstanding handling in various conditions and particularly stands out in terms of dry and wet handling. However, it falls short when it comes to mileage performance and cost-effectiveness.


In terms of overall performance, Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 seems to be the better choice, despite its high price, because of its superior handling characteristics. However, Linglong Sport Master could be a good alternative for those looking for quiet performance at a more affordable price point.
