LINGLONG Tire Review

Okay I needed new tires for my 5th gen after driving for months without getting an alignment.. My tires were literally showing wires because they were do bald. I guess I was putting it off because I was still doing work on my suspension/steering. Well anyways, I needed four new tires and I didnt have too much money. I went on ebay looking for used tires and found these LINGLONG tires, brand new, set of four for the cheap. I did some research and found that they arent rated the best. They arent bad, but just not the best. I thought, well at the price I paid, I dont think I could go wrong.

I threw them on the other day and went for an epic drive. You see, I havent had my car aligned for months and Ive changed my suspension at least 10 times. Along with a racing seat, steering wheel and new tires. So this was the best drive in over a year.

I flew on an on ramp when it was dry and they held traction very well up until a certain point.

From a stop they can be spun easily, but thats just the VQ power

Overall I am very impressed with them, I have only put around 100 miles on them so far..

I will keep you posted.

Yes but they were rated by car and driver or something and were named as "Livelong" tires.... I just needed something new and something that would last for awhile.

Im happy with them so far.

Interesting read. Definitely post a follow up after you put on about 1k on them to get rid of the glaze on top.

Personally, I won't be looking at no-name tires anymore. I have a pair with lots of tread on my winter beater and they're garbage at best. The 7yr old Goodyears with 2/32" worth of tread up front are far superior.

I had these tires and I'm getting all of them replaced as we speak. I HATED these tires. They are SO loud and rough/hard I was embarrassed for people to ride with me. My dad was even like....What happened to your car? It doesn't ride like it did a few months ago? I will never skimp out on tires again!

What r u replacing with? I love my Continental ExtremeContact DWS all-seasons. Not a fan of the softer sidewall but that's not a dealbreaker at all for me...
