Due to other commitments I've been a little behind on tyre tests but am now finally catching up.

Last night I was going through a Finnish tyre test looking primarily at ECO tyres, all the usual contenders were included (Goodyear EfficientGrip, Pirelli CINTURATO P7, Michelin Energy Saver etc) along with a few budgets.

Nothing strange so far.

There were 15 tyres tested in total and in 11th place, and ahead of more notable tyres like the Michelin Energy Saver, BFGoodrich gGrip was none other than the new Linglong Green Max.

Needless to say I doubled checked the translation software hadn't done something very strange but it was actually true. The new Linglong isn't an extreme ditch finder like the previous tyres!

It must be a warm day in hell.

Fortunately Sunny restored the balance, with the translation roughly coming out as "We wouldn't use these tyres if they were given away for free" hehe

At least it didn't turn into a premium vs budget tyre debate hehe

OK, so they're ahead of the real ste, but still finished 11 out of 15 tyres tested...
I'm not saying they're the best tyre you can buy, but the score overall (7.4) wasn't that bad considering. They'd usually pull a score like the Sunny.
