If you're in the market for a new set of summer tyres, you might be considering either the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 or the Linglong Sport Master, both highly rated by our team. For an unbiased comparison between these two, we gather the data from our tests, Autobild tests and autobild 2023 test results for both tyres.
Michelin Pilot Sport 5
The Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is a top-performing summer tyre. Scoring a high 97% in our rating, it secures a well-deserved spot in the Ultra Ultra High Performance (UUHP) category. Known for its precise steering and superior dynamic performance, it takes Aquaplaning to the next level with its superior Aquaplaning - cross and Aquaplaning - longitudal capabilities. It also excels in Wet braking and Wet circle cornering. Though it ranks 6th in the Autobild test out of 50 tyres, it is a choice that offers quality, albeit at a slightly higher price. There is no new tyre that replaces the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 currently.
Linglong Sport Master
On the other hand, the Linglong Sport Master shines in the Ultra High Performance (UHP) category, with a rating of 64%. It surprised us with its quiet exterior noise, ranking 7th out of 50 in the Autobild test. It offers short braking distances, both wet and dry, and comes with the advantage of a competitive price. However, it falls short in terms of longevity, dry handling, and comfort. There is also no new model that currently replaces the Linglong Sport Master. Visit the Linglong page for more details about its summer tyres.
Verdict
Overall, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is a superior tyre, particularly in terms of performance and longevity. However, if cost and noise level are factors in your decision, the Linglong Sport Master may be a more affordable and quieter option. Ultimately, the choice will depend on the specific needs and preferences of each driver. Visit Michelin and Linglong to learn more about each manufacturer's offerings.
