Conclusion

The shared tests favour the Kleber Quadraxer 3 overall, but the size of its lead varies. It placed ahead in both full Auto Bild all-season tests, the 2024 market overview and the 2025 and 2026 braking tests. In the 2024 full test, its dry and wet braking advantages were only about 1%, and most of the wet handling and aquaplaning gaps were similarly small. Auto Bild's 2025 braking test gave Kleber a much clearer margin, about 4% shorter dry braking and 6% shorter wet braking. In 2026 it again stopped about 2% shorter in the wet, while BFGoodrich's dry-braking advantage was too small to make much of.

The BFGoodrich Advantage All Season has the more repeatable snow advantage. In Auto Bild's 2023 and 2024 full tests it stopped sooner on snow, produced more traction and did better in the snow slalom. The gaps were modest, and snow handling was virtually level in 2023. Wet performance is less straightforward: BFGoodrich stopped about 2% shorter and handled slightly faster in the 2023 full test, the opposite of the later wet-braking results. The 2023 shootout repeats those braking measurements rather than adding a separate wet result. Neither tyre escaped criticism for wet behaviour: Auto Bild noted understeer for both in 2023 and moderate wet grip and extended braking for both in 2024.

Kleber also lasted longer in both full tests, by about 9% in 2023 and 2% in 2024, and had less measured abrasion in 2024. Fuel consumption changed sides between the two tests, so there is no consistent economy lead. Choose Kleber if you want the stronger overall placings, the more convincing recent wet-braking results and the better measured wear. Choose BFGoodrich if snow braking and traction matter more to you and you accept that its wet-braking results have been less consistent.

Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tyres; a tick marks the tyre ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.

Head to head in 6 tests, 2023 to 2026

Each row is one published test in which both tyres ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Point at or tap any spoke for both tyres' figures.

In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 36 m stop against 34.2 m is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 98%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow. 2 measurements recorded in only one shared test are left off; every measurement is in the table further down.

Every measurement, side by side

Averages of the figures both tyres posted in the same tests. The gap is the average of each test's own gap, so figures from different cars and years are never mixed. Open a discipline for its measurements, and a measurement for every test's figure.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tyres shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Scores beyond the shared tests

On the Tyre Reviews Score, which weighs every test and review we hold, the Advantage All Season scores 9.5 and the Quadraxer 3 9.4 out of 10.

Kleber Quadraxer 3

  • 86%from 32 reviews
  • 90%would buy again
  • 424,943 milesdriven by reviewers

Owners rate the Kleber Quadraxer 3 highly overall (85% average, with no outright negative reviews), most often praising its low road noise and cushioned, comfortable ride. Winter ability is a standout too, with many reporting strong traction in snow and dependable cold-weather grip, backed up by generally secure wet and dry grip. The main drawback is that a smaller but noticeable group mention the tyre getting noisier or losing performance as it wears, and a few also note a slight hit to fuel economy.

  • Quiet on the road for an all-season tyre
  • Strong snow traction and winter confidence
  • Comfortable, compliant ride
  • Reassuring wet grip
  • Can lose grip or feel less consistent as it wears
  • Slightly higher rolling resistance / fuel use
  • Road noise can be an issue for some (especially at certain speeds)

Summarised by AI from 28 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tyre page.

5 years on the Citroen C8, they held up good, with no remarks on ride quality or wear. Easily comparable to vector 4 season or crossclimate.

Reading the results

Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.

Six Auto Bild tests put the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season and Kleber Quadraxer 3 side by side: the 2023 all-season tyre test and 35-set shootout, the 2024 all-season tyre test and market overview, and the 2025 and 2026 braking tests. Kleber placed higher in five; BFGoodrich edged ahead in the 2023 shootout. The paired 2023 reports share braking figures, as do the paired 2024 reports, so those results are not four separate measurements.

Kleber's clearest advantage was in Auto Bild's 2025 braking test, stopping about 4% shorter on dry roads and 6% shorter in the wet. The 2026 dry result was effectively level, though Kleber retained a wet lead. BFGoodrich was more consistent on snow in the two full tests, with shorter braking distances and stronger traction and slalom results in both. Its wet-braking lead in 2023 runs against the later results. Both tyres also drew reservations about wet grip in Auto Bild's 2024 test.

Where this data comes from

Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tyres ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.

About the TR Score

The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tyres can be compared even before a test has run them together.

Who does the testing

Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
