In Linglong they commented on the recent successes of their tires in tests
In the recent qualifying stage of the big test by Auto Bild, 50 summer tires took part, of which only 20 with the best braking efficiency made it to the main part of the test, and the first place was unexpectedly taken by Linglong Sport Master, and what is especially noteworthy is that the braking distance of the tire from the Chinese brand when stopping from 80 km/h on a wet surface was two whole meters shorter than that of the nearest competitor.
In Linglong, they stated that such a result "not only brought Sport Master to first place in the qualification, but also fully demonstrated their excellent characteristics on a wet surface. In everyday life, reducing the length of the braking distance significantly reduces the risk of an accident, which increases the level of safety".
The company also recalled that this is not the first time that Linglong Sport Master has performed well in reputable European tests. So, in 2024, following the results of joint tests by ADAC, TCS, and ÖAMTC, the tire received a "Satisfactory" rating, and in 2025, it earned the same rating in the Auto Bild test. This year, Linglong tires showed very good results in the ACE test, again demonstrating excellent braking efficiency and handling characteristics on a wet surface and receiving a "Recommended" rating.
"The outstanding results of Linglong Sport Master in tests are due to their reliability, and the features of the tires include precise reactions to steering wheel turns, increased grip and safety on both wet and dry surfaces, as well as excellent wear resistance and long service life," note in Linglong, adding that the tires are also distinguished by an aerodynamic design of the sidewalls.
"In the European, the most competitive tire market in the world, Linglong products were able to stand out among many leading international brands, demonstrating advantages in good braking properties, stability, and safety on a wet road, — say in the company. — This is confirmation that Chinese tires have a level of technology that allows them to compete with international brands. Thanks to regularly high results in tests of reputable publications, Linglong is gaining increasing recognition among both professional organizations and end-users. For consumers who value comfort and safety, the Linglong brand is becoming an option that cannot be ignored".
At the same time, not everything is so rosy, and in the new ADAC test, Sport Master tires also surprised with very short braking distances in any conditions and excellent handling on a wet surface, however, the testers stated that the tires work very poorly on dry pavement, and they have extremely high wear, as a result of which the verdict "Not recommended" was issued.
