Verdict: Excellent

Excellent handling and feedback at any speed
Very high grip on dry surface

Low ride comfort
Increased noise

Suitable for those who are willing to sacrifice comfort for sports tire characteristics

Verdict: Excellent

Very good ride smoothness and high level of acoustic comfort
Low rolling resistance

Not the most stable behavior when performing sharp maneuvers at high speeds

Decent tires, standing out with a high level of comfort

Verdict: Good

Good handling in any conditions
Stable grip when performing emergency maneuvers on wet pavement

Relatively long braking distance on wet pavement
Minor complaints about steering response and feedback

At the beginning of maneuvering, they respond very quickly, but then the situation changes for the worse, i.e. these tires cannot be considered sporty

Verdict: Good

High grip on dry pavement
Good acoustic comfort

Relatively low traction on a wet surface

Tires with a good balance of characteristics that are clearly better than the first-generation model

Verdict: Good

Very low rolling resistance
Good ride smoothness

Relatively long braking distance on a wet surface
Reduced grip when maneuvering on dry and wet surfaces

For a tire designed in part for light off-roading, they work surprisingly well on asphalt

Verdict: Average

Poor traction and handling on dry and wet surfaces
High rolling resistance
High noise level

Linglong has no advantages at all, so it's better to choose another option

Verdict: Mediocre
