If i wanted a tyre to go a bit off road-ish a few days per month, anticipate some mud maybe, dirt roads etc but mainly driven on road on dry and maybe some wet, would the Linglong Spot Master 4S be a proper choice sacrificing some dry/wet performance. No snow capabilities required, noise etc no concern. Tyre size 185/60/15.
That depends how much you value puncture resistance. If you want some peace of mind a mild all terrain tire is the only choice for offroading.
Since I do some agricultural activities a couple days each month Including heavy loads in <3km dirt roads, I do mind the puncture resistance. Been using the Firestone Roadhawk though with the thinest of sidewalls and never had a problem. Only with mud or some fresh ploughed soil. I am considering switching to some harder sidewall mid range all season and seen all your videos. Linglong or Ceat looks decent enough and quite cheaper than the Debica, Falken or the Hankook, but that scares me too.
I don't understand the wet results in relation to the EU tyre labels.
The Continental AllSeasonContact 2 has a B for wet performance on the EU label, yet it scores better in this test than the Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport which has an A for wet performance on the EU label. Same for the Vredestein Quatrac that scores best in the wet in this test yet only gets a B for wet performance on the EU label.
How can this be?
Some brands are more cautious with their label scores than others. You're allowed to downgrade your results if you want.
Shouldn't best Dry Braking be 38.1M? There’s no tyre in this test with 34.8 M dry braking.
In which section? 34.8 was the reference summer tyre, it should be excluded from most calculations but I had a site update go wrong recently so need to double check everyone is seeing the same thing.

It's fixed now thank you
Oh, overall results. got it. I'll get reference excluded again, thanks
Ok i've fixed the bug, it might take a few hours for the cache to clear through the system, thanks for letting me know.
Would be great to see the graphs Jon if possible? Easier to compare data than the table.
Hit the 'test charts' button at the top. I need to make that clearer.
Got them thanks.
Also, any murmurings yet of CC3 or CC3 Sport in 215/55R17 & 215/50R18 yet?
I would guess they will be CC3 sizes, not sport. I have no info on new sizes though.
