In the 3 independent tests that ran both tyres, the Seasonproof 2 finished ahead 2 times and the Quadraxer 3 not once, with one level. The Quadraxer 3 stopped 2.4% shorter in the dry; the Seasonproof 2 stopped 3.5% shorter in the wet.
Data updated
Which should you buy?
The Nokian Seasonproof 2 better suits a driver prioritising wet handling, curved aquaplaning resistance and low rolling resistance. The Kleber Quadraxer 3 suits someone who puts more weight on dry and snow braking, provided they accept its weaker wet braking and handling.
Where the Quadraxer 3 is stronger
- Shorter dry braking in both full tests
- Shorter snow braking in both full tests
- Strong snow results in Auto Bild's 2026 full test
Where the Seasonproof 2 is stronger
- Shorter wet braking and quicker wet handling in both full tests
- Stronger curved aquaplaning results in both full tests
- Lower rolling resistance in both full tests
Conclusion
The overall results favour the Nokian Seasonproof 2, but not in every condition. It shared seventh with the Kleber Quadraxer 3 in Auto Bild's 2026 full all-season test, placed tenth against the Kleber's thirteenth in Auto Bild's braking test, and finished fourth against eighth in Auto Motor und Sport's 2026 test. The braking test repeats the measurements used in Auto Bild's full test, so those two placings should not be read as separate confirmation of the same braking gaps.
Across the two full tests, the Nokian stopped about 3 to 4% shorter in the wet, was quicker through wet handling and had lower rolling resistance. Its curved aquaplaning results were stronger too, particularly in Auto Motor und Sport's test. But its wet ability is not uniform: Auto Bild recorded the fastest wet handling and wet circle results in its field, while Auto Motor und Sport found it near the back for wet handling and last on the wet circle. That is an unusual change in standing relative to the field, even though the Nokian still beat the Kleber on wet braking and handling in both tests. The Kleber's more dependable advantages are dry and snow braking. It also did well on snow traction and handling in Auto Bild's test, while Auto Motor und Sport found the Nokian quicker and more convincing to its drivers on snow. Comfort scores favoured the Nokian in both tests; the Kleber was quieter in Auto Bild's external noise measurement, with the two level in Auto Motor und Sport's.
Choose the Nokian if wet-road handling, resistance to curved aquaplaning and lower rolling resistance matter most, with the caveat that its wet grip was not consistently strong against the wider field. Choose the Kleber if shorter dry and snow stopping distances take priority. Its wet braking and handling are the main reasons to hesitate: both testers placed those results near the bottom of their respective fields.

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 3 tests in 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.

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.
All 32 Quadraxer 3 reviews5 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.
Nokian Seasonproof 2
- 80%from 21 reviews
- 76%would buy again
- 80,950 milesdriven by reviewers
Owners generally rate the Nokian Seasonproof 2 highly, most often praising its strong wet grip and reassuring all-round safety, alongside a quiet, comfortable ride. Snow traction is also frequently highlighted as impressively winter-like for an all-season tyre, with dry-road grip getting positive mentions too. A meaningful minority report mixed feelings about steering precision and stability at higher speeds, and around one in five owners mention fuel economy/rolling resistance not being as good as hoped.
- Strong wet grip and confidence in rain
- Low road noise (quiet motorway and around town)
- Comfortable, compliant ride quality
- Very capable traction in snow for an all-season tyre
- Steering feel can be a bit vague or not very direct
- Mixed stability at higher speeds (some report nervousness)
- Fuel economy/rolling resistance can be disappointing

All 21 Seasonproof 2 reviewsAfter installing the Seasonproof 1 and being happy with it, I decided to put on the Seasonproof 2 and it has improved a lot... good performance in water, they provide safety and are very comfortable... they are not sports tyres, but in water they provide safety... I don't know how they perform in snow... silent just like the Seasonproof 1... happy ☺ so far good wear.

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.
Three independent tests put the Kleber Quadraxer 3 and Nokian Seasonproof 2 side by side: Auto Bild's 2026 all-season test and its 2026 30-tyre braking test, and Auto Motor und Sport's 2026 all-season test. They shared seventh place in Auto Bild's full test. The Nokian placed higher in the other two, although Auto Bild's braking test used the same dry and wet braking results as its full test.
The clearest repeatable differences are in stopping: the Kleber braked shorter on dry roads and snow in both full tests, while the Nokian braked shorter in the wet. The Nokian was also quicker on wet handling courses and had lower rolling resistance in both. Snow handling is less settled. The Kleber was quicker in Auto Bild's test, but the Nokian set the fastest snow lap of the field in Auto Motor und Sport's 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.
