Fix (workaround)

Just set compatibility mode

to: Windows 7 for

"...\steamapps\common\SleepingDogs\HKShip.exe"

That's all. Tearing gone with Windows 10.

On new Windows 10 14393.321 (WDDM 2.1) the tearing has returned!
Here is a new fix...

Disable Windows 7 compatibility mode for "HKShip.exe"!
Download https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-sHjRQMUHT7Q093S1lrYUhGVGc and extract these 2 files (from nVidia 372.54 driver package) in "HKShip.exe" directory.

Tearing should be gone (it works here with GTX 980m g-sync and drivers 368.69).

Not required anymore: the game runs without tearing even without the previous "fix" for Win 10.
If you have problems, verify Steam cache.
