Not every driver has the same priorities. Adjust the category weightings above to re-rank the tyres based on what matters most to your driving style.
Scores are colour-coded from red (weakest) through yellow to green (strongest) to help you quickly spot each tyre's strengths and weaknesses.
The original test ranking is shown in the # column. Arrows indicate how each tyre moves when your custom weighting is applied.
Considering the price, Linglong Sport Master Winter is a steel on price/performance ratio.
2025 Auto Express Winter Tyre Test had similar good overall results, this confirms it as an good overall winter tyre in my opinion.
Most of the tyres in this list are double the price at the moment, i also think the price will go up for this tire, get it at this price while you can.
Autobild tested wear to see the value of it, check out the results as euros per 1000km is a better metric
In this case, wear is not important, since Linglong is 4 times cheaper than premium brands (in my country).
EU is scared of cheap Chinese tyres, which are in this case very good, so they try to discriminate them with poor test results.
The Chinese quality has not caught up yet, but it's getting closer as proven by linglong. Why is linglong much better than it was? It is in least in part due to having EU offices and development. Which makes the tyre more expensive, if you look at the Chinese brands who make a good product it is nearly always more expensive than the general chinese product. The big EU brands are definitely concerned but we're not suppressing the results of brands like linglong, we're promoting how far they've come.
