Data updated
Which should you buy?
Choose the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 if you want the most balanced, highest-safety all-season for mixed conditions-especially frequent rain, higher mileage, or EV efficiency concerns. Choose the Kleber Quadraxer SUV if you regularly drive in proper snow and want strong winter traction and dry braking at a sharper price, accepting that wet-road performance and overall composure are not as strong as the Continental.
Where the AllSeasonContact 2 is stronger
- Stronger wet safety overall, highlighted by much shorter wet braking in the 2025 test (44.65 m vs 48.76 m) and consistently higher wet handling speeds
- Better aquaplaning performance in the SUV test (straight: 80.05 vs 77.39 km/h; curved: 2.86 vs 2.68 m/s²), plus strong wet circle time in the EV test (13.1 s vs 13.4 s)
- Lower rolling resistance in both tests (efficiency/EV-friendly) and slightly lower noise in both tests
Where the Quadraxer SUV is stronger
- Very strong snow focus: wins snow traction in both tests (3665 N vs 3615 N in 2026; 2953.5 N vs 2909 N in 2025) and snow slalom in both
- Shorter dry braking in both tests (37.3 m vs 38.6 m in 2025; 41.1 m vs 42.0 m in 2026)
- Competitive aquaplaning headline in the EV test (straight aquaplaning: 70.3 vs 67.5 km/h)

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 2 tests, 2025 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.

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.

Owners rate the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 highly overall (81% average), most often praising its smooth, comfortable ride and low noise levels, alongside very strong wet grip that inspires confidence. Dry grip is also widely viewed as secure and predictable, and around one in five owners report it coping well in snow for an all-season. The main recurring drawback is steering feel: around one in four owners describe softer, less immediate response, and tread life feedback is mixed, with a noticeable minority reporting faster-than-expected wear.
- Noticeably smoother, more comfortable ride
- Low cabin noise and a refined drive
- Excellent wet grip and confidence in the rain
- Strong dry grip and traction under acceleration
- Steering feels soft or delayed, with a dead spot for some drivers
- Tread life reports are inconsistent, with some seeing faster wear
- Handling can feel less sharp than expected in the dry
Summarised by AI from 61 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tyre page.
All 70 AllSeasonContact 2 reviewsI chose XL-rated tires because I tend to drive a bit faster, and they provide better stability with less sidewall flex. I use them only during the winter, and they've been excellent. They are no noisier than winter tires, and in my experience they perform better in about 90% of winter conditions. The only exception is deep snow, where proper winter tires still have an advantage, although these tires handle it quite well too.

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.
Continental's AllSeasonContact 2 and Kleber's Quadraxer SUV aim at the same “one tyre for all conditions” brief, but they get there with slightly different priorities. The Continental is positioned as a premium, safety-first all-rounder (and it backs that up with top overall placings), while the Kleber is a value-leaning option that repeatedly shows a clear bias toward snow performance.
Across two Autobild tests in similar 18-inch sizes, the headline is consistency versus specialization: the Continental finishes 1st/12 and 2nd/10, while the Kleber lands mid-pack at 7th/12 and 5th/10. The numbers reveal why-Continental tends to build its advantage in wet control, aquaplaning margins and efficiency, while Kleber keeps nipping ahead in outright dry braking and several snow metrics.
Conclusion
If you want the most complete, lowest-compromise all-season out of these two, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the clear pick. It consistently dominates wet performance (notably a big wet-braking gap in the SUV test: 44.65 m vs 48.76 m, ~8.4% shorter), pairs that with strong aquaplaning resistance (wins both straight and curved aquaplaning in the 2025 test), and adds day-to-day benefits like lower rolling resistance (7.88 vs 8.17 kg/t in 2025; 7.05 vs 7.48 kg/t in 2026) and lower noise. It's also the better long-run proposition where measured: 48,070 km vs 44,110 km wear result in the 2026 test.
The Kleber Quadraxer SUV makes sense for a narrower buyer: drivers who regularly face real snow and want strong winter bite for the money. It repeatedly leads snow traction/slalom (and takes snow braking in 2025: 23.4 m vs 25.3 m), and it even edges dry braking in both tests (37.3 m vs 38.6 m in 2025; 41.1 m vs 42.0 m in 2026). The trade-off is that its warm/wet-road composure and outright wet stopping can fall behind the best-enough to keep it in the middle of the overall rankings.
Practical takeaway: Continental is the safer, more balanced “fit-and-forget” choice for mixed climates and higher annual mileage; Kleber is the smart-value pick if winter traction is the priority and you're willing to accept a step down in wet-road performance and overall polish.

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.
