When it comes to buying summer tires, the conventional wisdom has always been ‘you get what you pay for’. If you want the shortest stopping distances and the safest wet-weather performance, you have to shell out the big bucks for a premium flagship tire. But a new test has proven that this may not be true.

 

According to a recent video published by Tyre Reviews on YouTube, a budget-tier Chinese tire known as the Linglong Sport Master has just pulled off a perfect test result. In direct, head-to-head instrumented testing, the Linglong outright beat premium giant brands.
