The Linglong Sport Master generally receives mixed-to-positive reviews as a budget-friendly tire offering impressive dry and wet grip relative to its low price point. While many users praise its value, braking performance, and handling, some encounter issues with balancing, road noise, and faster-than-average wear.
Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
62/100From 11 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
65/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

Themes extracted from 11 owner reviews found online.
The Linglong Sport Master generally receives mixed-to-positive reviews as a budget-friendly tire offering impressive dry and wet grip relative to its low price point. While many users praise its value, braking performance, and handling, some encounter issues with balancing, road noise, and faster-than-average wear.
Pros
- Exceptional value for money compared to premium brands
- Strong dry and wet grip performance
- Potent braking capabilities
- Competent handling for daily driving and spirited cornering
Cons
- Faster tread wear reported by some users
- Balancing issues causing steering wheel vibrations at higher speeds
- Increased road noise and harshness
- Occasional high-speed understeer or unpredictable turn-in
Worth knowing
- Users with heavy vehicles like the Volvo S90 T8 Plug-in Hybrid noted good grip despite the high vehicle weight, though long-term wear remains to be seen.
- Fitted on smaller hatchbacks like the Kia Rio for daily commuting, some drivers found them less progressive and inferior to worn premium alternatives on uneven surfaces.
