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 13 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.

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 Turanza All Season 6 scores 9.4 and the Quadraxer 3 9.4 out of 10.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6

  • 79%from 44 reviews
  • 76%would buy again
  • 393,509 milesdriven by reviewers

Owners broadly rate the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 as a very safe, summer-leaning all-season tyre, with a clear consensus around strong wet grip (mentioned by over half of reviewers) and similarly impressive dry grip. Snow traction is generally described as capable for occasional winter use, and around a third of owners also report encouraging tread life. The main drawbacks are feel and efficiency: around one in four owners complain of numb steering feedback and a similar share report higher rolling resistance/fuel consumption, while road noise is divisive with near-even praise and criticism.

  • Very strong wet grip and confidence in heavy rain
  • High dry grip that feels close to a summer tyre
  • Capable snow traction for light to moderate winter conditions
  • Good tread life for year-round use
  • Numb steering feel and limited feedback near the limit
  • Higher rolling resistance and a noticeable fuel economy hit for some
  • Road noise can be intrusive on certain surfaces, despite others finding it quiet

Summarised by AI from 43 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tyre page.

Now nearly 2 years and 20k miles in. These tyres are still as good as they were new and tread has only dropped to 5-6mm all round, suggesting >40,000 miles a set which is more than the OE Pirelli P7 summer tyres managed. Have experienced winter slush and light snow without any grip issues, when the car felt stable and safe, but as I live on the south coast with regular trips to family in Yorkshire, they don’t need to be a dedicated winter tyre. Economy unchanged around 45mpg overall, 50mpg on a motorway run. For my use, these have been very impressive and I would be happy to replace them with another set, although there may be even better choices in 3 years when these should be just about done.

Kleber Quadraxer 3

  • 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.

Price in the shared tests The Turanza All Season 6 was the dearer tyre in 6 of the 8 tests that listed prices, by 11.2% on average. Each test priced the tyres in its own market at the time; only the gap is comparable.

Label grades are shown as the share of registered sizes carrying each grade, so "B (88%), C (12%)" means most sizes are B. Grades vary by size; check the label for yours.

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.

This head-to-head pits two popular all-season touring tyres with very different priorities: the premium Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 versus the value-oriented (Michelin-backed) Kleber Quadraxer 3. Across 12 shared professional tests in multiple sizes, the Bridgestone generally behaves like a “summer-leaning” all-season focused on wet and dry safety, while the Kleber leans “winter-leaning,” trading wet grip for snow capability, comfort and efficiency.

The pattern is unusually consistent: Turanza All Season 6 dominates wet braking and wet handling (12/12 wet-braking wins in this dataset), and also tends to be sharper and safer on dry roads. Quadraxer 3, on the other hand, repeatedly shines on snow (notably snow traction/handling), and often brings lower noise and rolling resistance-making this less a battle of small margins and more a choice of climate and driving style.

Conclusion

On the road, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is the safer, more confidence-inspiring tyre for the conditions most drivers actually face most of the year-especially wet roads. The wet-braking gaps are frequently meaningful rather than academic: for example, in Auto Bild's 2024 test the Bridgestone stopped in 50.5 m versus the Kleber's 58.4 m (+13.5% in Bridgestone's favour), and in the 2026 braking test it was 42.9 m vs 46.7 m (+8.1%). It also typically backs that up with faster wet handling and better wet cornering (wet circle), which translates to higher stability and larger safety reserves in rain.

The Kleber Quadraxer 3's counterpunch is snow. In multiple tests it delivers clearly better snow braking and traction (often ~3-11% advantages), and it tends to be quieter and more energy-efficient (rolling resistance wins 6 times, noise wins 7 times). The trade-off is that several test reports explicitly describe its wet behaviour as the limiting factor-sometimes bottom-of-class on wet handling-so it's best suited to drivers who genuinely see frequent snow/packed winter roads and can accept a more cautious approach in the rain.

Practical takeaway: if you want one set of tyres that feels “most like a good summer tyre” and prioritises wet safety, pick the Bridgestone. If your all-season must regularly deal with real snow and you value quiet comfort and efficiency, the Kleber can be the smarter, cheaper winter-leaning option-but it's not the one to choose if wet grip is your non-negotiable.

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.
