Linglong Sport Master 4S vs Vredestein Quatrac
The pattern is clear: Linglong delivers surprisingly short dry braking and solid value, whereas Vredestein dominates in wet grip, aquaplaning resistance, and winter capability. If your daily driving sees frequent rain or occasional snow, the Quatrac's safety margins are hard to ignore; if you drive in mild climates and want maximum dry bite for less money, the Linglong has niche appeal.
Test Results
Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been two tests which compare both tires directly!
| Tire | Test Wins | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Vredestein Quatrac | two |
While it might look like the Vredestein Quatrac is better than the Linglong Sport Master 4S purely based on the higher number of test wins, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Conclusion
Linglong Sport Master 4S counters with best-in-test dry stopping in both sizes (up to ~9% advantage) and lower purchase price, plus strong abrasion results in the 18-inch test. But its snow limitations and higher rolling resistance narrow its viable use case. Choose Quatrac for all-weather safety and balanced manners; pick the Linglong if you prioritize short dry stops and upfront savings in a warm, mostly dry climate.
Key Differences
- Wet safety: Quatrac brakes shorter (~7-8%) and handles faster (+5-7%) in the wet
- Aquaplaning: Quatrac holds notably higher speeds (+9-19%) in straight and curved tests
- Snow performance: Quatrac leads in braking (≈14-15%), traction (≈9-11%), and handling (≈6%)
- Dry braking: Linglong stops shorter on dry (≈5-9% advantage)
- Efficiency and refinement: Quatrac is quieter (≈2-3 dB) with lower rolling resistance (≈5-9%)
- Value orientation: Linglong offers lower purchase cost and strong abrasion in 18-inch; Quatrac delivers higher overall safety and test results

Footnote
This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.
Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
