The tread of the tires is not straight. This causes enormous vibrations on the car, this from 115km/h.
You should not expect service from Ling long.
Cheap junk.
Never again.

Previous owner of my car had bought these as new tires for the car but the experience with were so awful I had to share.

The car was shaking above 80km/h and at 100km/h it felt like it bounced sideways a little. I thought yeah balancing is not done correctly and took the tires to a shop. They stated that the tires were infact not round but elliptical on top of that they were impossible to balance.

So I went and bought some premium tires and no more issues. I never had tried budget tires before and this was certainly my last experience with them. Never again 0/5.

I'm from India, I bought the ling long max tires for my Honda mobilio. At 20k miles they have reached mid life. The side corner of the tire is too soft. I purchase 4 tires out of which 1 got a side bubble at 5k kilometers and had to be replaced with another brand at my cost since we don't have a dealer network for this brand in India. This is my last purchase for ling long.

Good quality

I initially really liked these tires, as they performed splendid all around, BUT.. admittedly, I probably drive like a madman, and these tires didn't cope with me, so I had.. (hold on) THREE blow-outs.. my first three ever.. within 5000 miles!

Two of them blew violent, on the side wall of the tire.. both on the nside of the wheel facing inwards.. one front, one rear.. at "good country road speed" 80-90 KM/t / 56 MPH - The last one, sort of just went flat, on the highway, at 110 KMT / 70 MPH, and althought I stopped immediately, there was a hone in the side wall of the tire.. and again, on the inside!

I challenge my tires.. and these had great grip / traction / low noise, but very bad durability ! I dont do handbrake turns, or anything like that, so why should two of them blow up like that.! I was pretty surprised, and sort of hope, that these tires are off the market.. "coz them babies are dangerous".. for mad drivers anyway!

Bought 4 new tires for my 607 2.7 hdi
Which is a comfi car of 1800 kg
I life in the south of France and commute 160 km a day on the highway.
Since it is almost never wet I could not be bordered with that.

Comming from P zero what was a disapointment at the price 178 a piece. ( mounted )
It always a nice feeling to treat youself and nowing you have got one of the best tires beneath you.
They look nice to but I already had exeperience wih LingLong so I went back to the greenmax.

Bought 4 new Linglongs at 65 euro's mounted

Finaly silence and ease back in my car.
For that money the best tire for me and my car.

I purchased these tires as i had some budget constraints and couldnt really afford to go with anything else, prior to these i had Goodride SV308 which was not a great tire, a friend of mine told me to try the Linlong's as he was also using them so i gave them a shot expecting a mediocre tire and instead i was pleasantly surprised..the car changed dramatically, cornering was now excellent, overall ride quality much softer and there was considerably less noise whilst on the highway, The roads here in Chile are terrible but these tires have surprisingly escaped intact from some pretty vigorous driving and potholes. my car is lowered on H&R Sports suspension and the ride quality remains comfortable. havent really tried them in the wet as it doesn't rain often here. overall very happy with the purchase and performance of these tires.

Firstly I bought my VW golf with the Linglong GreenMax fitted to the rear, these had done atleast 25,000 miles last year and I was impressed with the overall performance. When I come to renew the tires I thought I would once again buy a full new set of Linglong greenmax. 18" 225 45 Honestly these tires are great, stick to the road well in the dry and a grade B performance rating in the wet and are an amazing price for 18" low profile at £170 online! Why not buy 4new tires everytime! I can't stand cars with multiple tire brands and wouldn't even consider a part worn replacement ever, whatever the brand was! If your not a brand snob (I work in branding and packaging and I understand you can buy quality without having to pay over the odds) Ling Long may not be the most well know brand but the GreenMax tire is there best tire made and performs well if not better than some of the the more expensive mid range tires in the class. I also have another VW project car which I have bought another set of Linglong Greenmax for these are 16" 215 40 and I'm looking forward to seeing how these perform! Overall my experience with the Greemax tires is great and I would recommend them to anyone if they are looking at replacing a ful set of tires! Price paid £170 for 4thres from tire leader, fitting at my local garage £60.

I can't review all points cause I lack the (comparasion) experience. Just can say that grip is afwul and very unpredictable once lost track. It's not due to the cars alignment which is perfectly fine. Continental winter 175/65 and PremiumContact 2E 155/70 offer much better grip on same car, difference is really huge. Please avoid this tire if you drive high speeds or like sporty cornering.
Grip on wet is so bad that these tires don't deserve further attention so I won't go into detail on other points. I think this kind of tires should be forbidden, probably better alternatieves from known brands (falken/fulda/nokian/toyo/yokohama/kumho/hankook) have a slighly higher price (10-20%) so it's not worth the risk to me.

an all round good tire that offers value for money .
i use them on an all wheel drive jaguar .
they are excellent in the wet as they are in the dry road noise is very low and on new roads all you can here is the engine.
I've used these tires many times before from being on a 2.5 sri to a normal 1.8 ford Mondeo .
i normally get over 10000 miles from a full set of these .
id recommend them to all who are looking for some thing that offers max grip in the rain and on dry roads and don't want to have loads of road noise ..would i get them again yes i would will be ordering my next set very soon ready to put on the car when i need them

Whilst my car is no Porchse, nor is it a BMW 7 series, however, I cover and continue to do.so every wk-end 520mile round journey. Approximately 80 mile is very very narrow, pot holed back twisty country lanes, leading to M4, and M25. I have yet to encounter ice or snow, however, I have driven in heavy at times vision down to 5metre heavy water logged roads. These tires have not let me down, and I push the car hard on every inch of the journey. The grip in dry weather has not diminished in wet, and to be honest, I read the drivers review from.Cyprus and glad I ignored it. Not the quietest, however, found it hard to knock them for the price. Couldn't quote on wear, as coming up to a year and don't think they are down 50%.

After one year use of this tire i am convinced that is very good low budget tire for use on normal driving mode

My Peugeot 207 was fitted with a brand new set of greenmaxes when i bought it last year. I've now done just under 20000miles and they are now reaching the point when the fronts need replacing. These Tires are excellent and i wouldnt hesitate to buy another set.

Bought 4 new tires for my 607 2.2 hdi because of the German test
I was looking for a silent cheap tire.
I life in the south of France and commute 140 km a day on the highway.
Don't care to much about grip because the highway is strait.
And since it is almost never wet I could not be bordered with that neither.

A nice silent and comfy tire.
Nice feedback about grip, there is on corner near Aix en Provence where you can test this and it stays stable until high speed.
Tire wear is more than expected but did a 30k and still 4mm left.
The only problem is that 2 out of 4 are unround.
So I had the balanced at least 5 times and finally changed one rim but still rubbish
Ordered 2 new ones and hope they are round otherwise the supplier is in trouble.
I would recommend these tires since the are 60 euro a piece and the next silent tire in this dimension is at least 90 euro.
But check it they are round otherwise you can lose the price advantage at the balancing shop.

When I bought my used 2001 Toyota Yaris/Echo from a Toyota dealer, they fitted new tires to the front. I was aghast to see they were cheap and nasty Chinese Linglongs. Three days later, after finding my light, fwd hatch was excessively tail-happy, I ditched the reputable brand rears and fitted matching Green Maxes. My weekly commute is 100km (600 miles) on a mix of country roads, highways and a winding, narrow 15km hill pass which goes from sea level to 555m. The car is driven quickly on the challenging hill road and in nearly three years of driving, 130,000km (80,000 miles) in total, I have not had a single fright with these tires. Terrific grip and progression, dry and wet. The only arguable fault is they wear quicker than most tires - but I have stuck with the brand unhesitatingly because a bit of extra wear, on a very cheap tire, is a tiny price to pay for the reassuring grip. I can't vouch for them on big cars, but on lightweight hatches these are an excellent tire at any price and an absurd bargain given their low price. And to reiterate, my car is driven briskly.
