Dunlop All Season 2 vs Kleber Quadraxer 3
On wet tracks the picture splits: Kleber often wins outright wet braking, but Dunlop tends to be quicker in wet handling and on the wet circle. In snow, the balance is close-Kleber shines in handling agility, while Dunlop frequently edges traction and braking. If you value lifespan and economy the Dunlop stands out; if you prioritize short dry stops and aquaplaning safety margins, the Kleber makes a compelling case.
Test Results
Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been four tests which compare both tyres directly!

|---|---|---|
| Dunlop All Season 2 | one | |
| Kleber Quadraxer 3 | three |
While it might look like the Kleber Quadraxer 3 is better than the Dunlop All Season 2 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

- Stronger wet handling and wet-circle grip for controllability
- Lower running costs: better value score and slightly lower fuel use/rolling resistance
- Solid snow braking/traction balance
- Consistently shorter dry braking distances
- Very good straight-line aquaplaning resistance and noise comfort
- Competent snow agility and handling feel
- Competitive wet braking performance

Kleber Quadraxer 3 Driver Reviews
Drivers rate the Kleber Quadraxer 3 very highly, praising its confident winter capability (snow and ice), excellent wet grip with strong aquaplaning resistance, and a quiet, comfortable ride. Many note solid dry performance for everyday driving, good longevity, and strong value compared to premium options like Michelin CrossClimate. A few isolated reviews mention high-speed noise or less inspiring dry grip versus previous models, but these are in the minority. Overall, it's viewed as a safe, refined, and durable all-season choice.
Based on 24 reviews with an average rating of 87%
Motorway driving is on par with many other tyres; the wind noise coming from the car is always louder than the tyres themselves, so no trouble there; you get just a wee bit less fuel efficiency overall (compared to the more expensive choice), but it is nothing to transcendental, on the dry they...

Conclusion
For commuters chasing the lowest cost-per-kilometre without giving up balanced year-round performance, the Dunlop is the safer bet. For drivers who prize short, confidence-inspiring stops on dry roads and extra aquaplaning headroom-especially in heavy rain-the Kleber fits better. In light-to-moderate winters both are competent: Kleber is nimbler on snow, while Dunlop often grips and brakes a touch better. The practical takeaway: Dunlop for economy and consistency; Kleber for everyday braking assurance and rain resilience.
Key Differences
- Dry braking: Kleber stops ~7-8% shorter in both sizes tested
- Aquaplaning: Kleber leads in straight aquaplaning; Dunlop splits curved results
- Wet dynamics: Dunlop quicker in wet handling and wet circle; Kleber often better in wet braking
- Longevity: Dunlop projects ~34-35% higher mileage and lower abrasion
- Operating costs: Dunlop shows better value metrics and slightly lower rolling resistance/fuel
- Snow balance: Kleber more agile (handling/slalom), Dunlop often edges traction/braking by small margins

Footnote
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
