The latest test

2026 Netzwelt Mid Range Summer Tire Test P2 of 6

The Linglong Comfort Master is the surprise of the test and the cheapest tire in the field. Braking performance is strong, finishing second behind the Continental on both surfaces. On wet roads the tire performs well, with good balance, direct turn-in and a neutral-to-understeer limit character. On dry roads it is weaker - steering response is slower, requiring larger inputs, and lateral grip is limited on the handling course. Rolling resistance is the worst in the test, around 13% higher than the best, equating to roughly 0.1-0.2 l/100km extra fuel consumption. Ride comfort and noise levels are good.

Performance Analysis

Drawn from 2 tests. Updated March 27, 2026.

Across two summer tests in the same size (205/55 R16), the Linglong Comfort Master shows highly variable performance depending on test depth and competition. It looks competitive in a small 6-tire comparison (2nd overall with near-best braking distances), but struggles markedly in a large field of 55 tires-especially on wet braking-suggesting its performance ceiling is limited when benchmarked against a broader market.

The most consistent pattern is that dry braking is the tire's better area (from near-front in the small test to mid-pack in the large test), while wet braking is the clear weakness, ranging from near-best in the small test to strongly bottom-tier in the large test. Overall, results indicate a tire that can appear strong in limited comparisons but is not consistently competitive under wider, more demanding test conditions.
