# B10 Tyres: Linglong or Hankook for Wet Grip? > See what B10 owners report about Linglong and Hankook, why wet-grip anecdotes prove little, and how to compare your exact tyres by label and condition. ![B10 Tyres: Linglong or Hankook for Wet Grip?](https://leap-owner-tips.nicheflash.com/media/articles/2799-4vhxqlql6kz7-16x9.jpg) - Source: https://leap-owner-tips.nicheflash.com/blogs/leapmotor-b10-linglong-hankook-wet-grip - Author: [LeapMotor Ownership Guide Editorial Team](https://leap-owner-tips.nicheflash.com/authors/leapmotor-ownership-guide-editorial-team) - Publisher: LeapMotor Ownership Guide - Published: 2026-10-19 - Updated: 2026-10-19 Leapmotor B10 owners have reported receiving both Linglong and Hankook tyres, but the available accounts do not confirm a universal supplier change. They also do not establish which brand performs better in wet conditions. To compare fairly, identify the exact tyre model and size fitted to your car, then compare those tyres’ wet-grip labels and condition—not brand names or unassigned anecdotes. **Key takeaways** - Owner discussions report both Linglong and Hankook deliveries, but they do not amount to a manufacturer-confirmed changeover. [1][2] - Wet-grip comments conflict, and the reports do not reliably identify the tyre model being discussed. They cannot show which brand performs better. [1][3] - A tyre label does not describe a tyre’s current condition. [4] - Check your own vehicle’s tyre placard for approved sizes and requirements before buying replacements; an owner-posted size is not an official specification. [1] ## Which tyres have B10 owners reported receiving? B10 owners have reported both Linglong and Hankook tyres, so the B10 model name alone does not tell you which brand is fitted. [1] In a Reddit discussion about B10 tyres, one owner wrote, “Mine had ling long. Bought it in August.” Another commenter said some B10s in Spain had Linglong while Hankook deliveries were also being seen, and reported that their own August B10 had Hankook tyres. [1] These are individual delivery accounts, not a representative survey or a published Leapmotor specification. The discussion date is not included here because it has not been verified. A report about one driver’s tyres may not describe another B10’s equipment. Market, vehicle version and delivery timing do not establish what every car received. Read the brand and model printed on your own tyre sidewalls and record them. When considering another owner’s experience, compare the same tyre model and size rather than relying on the vehicle badge alone. ## Has Leapmotor officially switched the B10 from Linglong to Hankook? The available material contains no primary Leapmotor confirmation of a universal supplier change, its timing or its reason. [1][2] A German owner-forum discussion includes a claim that B10s were supplied exclusively with Linglong tyres until early in the year, followed by a switch to Hankook because of quality concerns, particularly wear. [2] That is an unverified forum claim, not an official company statement. The same discussion includes reports of Hankook deliveries, while the Reddit discussion includes reports of both brands. [1][2] These accounts show that owners have encountered different brands; they do not establish when a formal change happened, whether it applied across markets or why. Treat the stated reason for a possible change as speculation unless Leapmotor confirms it. For your own car, the tyre sidewall and vehicle placard are more useful than a claim about a supplier policy. ## What do B10 owners’ wet-grip reports actually show? The available reports do not establish whether Linglong or Hankook performs better in wet conditions. They do not consistently identify the exact tyre model, size or condition, and they are not controlled comparisons. [1][3] In the B10 tyre discussion, one owner said, “I lose grip on them as soon as it gets wet”; another said the tyres “tested decently in the rain.” [1] The comments conflict, and the discussion does not establish that both owners were describing the same brand or model. Road surface, weather, tyre wear and other circumstances can also affect what a driver experiences. Neither comment supports a brand-wide verdict. A separate Reddit post about a C10 AWD describes the car feeling as if it loses grip or briefly slides in a gentle curve. A commenter reports a similar experience in a B10 REEV, but does not identify the tyres. [3] This account does not show whether tyres, road conditions, vehicle setup or another factor caused the sensation. It is a concern to investigate on the individual car, not proof of a shared fault. For a meaningful comparison, note the full tyre model and size from each sidewall. Find the EU wet-grip label for those exact tyres and compare their wet-grip class on a like-for-like basis. Then check the tyres’ actual condition: two tyres with the same label may not provide the same grip after use. The label does not guarantee handling in every wet-road situation. [4] ## How should you check your B10 tyres before judging grip or buying replacements? Use these steps to distinguish a concern with your own car from an unverified supplier claim. 1. **Identify.** Record the brand, model and size shown on each fitted tyre. Check your vehicle’s tyre placard for approved sizes and load and speed requirements before ordering replacements. One Reddit commenter lists 225/50 R18 99V for the front and 235/50 R18 101V for the rear, but that is an owner-posted example, not an official specification. Vehicles and regional versions may differ. [1] 2. **Inspect.** Look for visible damage, such as cuts, bulges or exposed cords, and for markedly uneven wear. Ask a tyre professional to assess any such concern promptly; do not rely on a photo or a general online comment to judge whether a tyre is safe. Consider tyre age and wear when assessing condition. [4] 3. **Compare.** Check the EU wet-grip label for the exact tyre model and size, rather than comparing the Linglong or Hankook brand names alone. The label can be one point of comparison, but it does not fully describe wet-road handling or guarantee performance in every situation. [4] 4. **Document.** If the sensation recurs, note the tyre model, its condition, the road and weather, and what the vehicle was doing. Give those details to a tyre professional or service provider. Do not deliberately recreate a loss-of-grip sensation to test the tyres. **Decision rule:** confirm the requirements for your individual B10, compare the exact tyres by wet-grip label, and assess their current condition. Treat owner reports as prompts to check—not as proof that one brand is better or that your car has a defect. ## Frequently asked questions ### How can I compare tyres fitted to different B10s? Compare the full model name, size and wet-grip label, not just the brand or vehicle. Check that the tyres meet your own B10’s placard requirements, then account for differences in age, wear and visible condition. A label comparison is most useful when the exact tyres are known. ### Can Linglong and Hankook tyres be mixed on the same B10? The cited reports do not establish whether mixing those brands is suitable. Do not treat delivery anecdotes as approval to combine tyres. Ask a tyre professional to check your vehicle’s requirements and the tyres already fitted. ### What information should I give a tyre shop about a wet-grip concern? Share the fitted tyre brand, model and size; any visible damage or uneven wear; and the road, weather and circumstances when the sensation occurred. Ask the shop to assess the tyres and confirm replacement requirements against your vehicle’s placard. ## Sources and evidence - **[1]** Reddit discussion about Leapmotor B10 tyres, including owner comments on Linglong and Hankook deliveries, wet grip and reported tyre sizes.
