“I’ve been using the Kleber Dynaxer HP3 (185/65 R15) on my 1997 Nissan Primera P11 for the past 10 years, covering around 40,000 kilometres, mostly in city traffic and on the Autobahn. Throughout the entire period, the...”
Kleber Dynaxer HP 3
Replaced by the Dynaxer HP4 Replaces the DYNAXER HP2
The Kleber Dynaxer HP 3 is a summer touring tyre with good tread life and generally low rolling resistance. Owners often like its dry grip and value, but repeated wet-weather weaknesses limit its appeal.
Tread life is the clearest strength of the Kleber Dynaxer HP 3, supported by longer-use owner accounts and repeated low-wear praise in independent tests. Auto Bild projected 42,510 km in 2018, fifth of 20. Value also receives favourable comments, while rolling resistance is usually good. ADAC’s high fuel consumption criticism in 2018 was an unusual exception. Owners generally like dry grip and handling, but test results vary: Moottori rated subjective dry handling first in its 2019 midrange field, whereas Auto Bild measured the longest dry stop in 2018.
Wet performance is the more persistent concern. ADAC repeatedly criticised wet grip, and Auto Bild placed wet handling last in 2018. Several owners also advise caution in rain, although others are satisfied. Noise is less settled: a few owners praise quietness, ADAC criticised it, and Moottori’s unusually favourable 2019 noise result contrasted with those tests. It is therefore more convincing for drivers prioritising wear and cost than for those seeking consistently strong wet grip or braking.

Kleber Dynaxer HP 3 Owner Reviews
Review this tyreWhat owners say summarised from 12 reviews
Owners of the Kleber Dynaxer HP 3 most consistently praise tread life, with several longer-use accounts describing low wear after substantial use. Dry grip and handling are generally viewed favourably, and value is another positive for everyday driving. Wet performance is less convincing: several owners advise caution or report weak grip, although others are satisfied. One owner describes wet handling declining after the first year, but this is not a repeated ageing pattern. Comfort and noise receive more praise than criticism in a small number of accounts, so neither is a clear consensus strength.

It drives well in the city. Abrupt reactions when braking on dry surfaces, rather sufficient on wet ones, punctures easily. Quite economical in consumption. Absolutely comfortable and quiet. I would probably buy it again.

The tire might be good for lighter cars, but since Vectra weighs about 1600 kg unloaded, these tires had a tough job keeping the car rolling... They are too weak for this car. It felt like the car was floating on water while on dry road. I tried different air pressures and in the end I had to get them up to 3.3 bar to keep the car from giving me sea-sickness.
Wet grip is also one of the issues these tires don't seem to handle well. Aquaplaning happened quite often, even at lower speeds (70 km/h).
They don't have a rim-protection edge.
In "sporty" or spirited moments, the tire gives very little feedback about what is going on with the wheels. The sides are soft and car seems to tilt a lot (even after going -30 mm + stiffer shocks on all four corners last year).
On the other hand, they were cheap, so this is a plus. Also, they wear quite slow (on our cra**y roads in Slovenia).
Would I buy them again? No. Specially not for a heavy car like my Vectra.
p.s. Father in law has these on a Citroen Picasso mk1 and is quite satisfied. Lighter, softer car. And a lighter right foot, too :)

They were 30% cheaper than the Michelin's and for the price they were pretty good, as far as wear is concerned. Dry grip was on par with more expensive options, as well as predictability. In the wet these tyres wheel hop the 90 hp car so easily that extra caution is required. Ride comfort is also subpar compared to more premium options. Had one of them torn from the sidewall because of a sharp metal nail embedded in a kerb during parking. Recommend only for budget minded buyers with easy going driving habits.

After some Corsa 55's on the rears that turned out to be the noisiest and unresponsive tyres I have ever had these have transformed the car no end!
I recently replaced the complience bushes and rear wheel bearings as the car was handling badly and had become extremely noisy (wheel bearings noise) but found the car was no different after splashing out £200. I was advised that the Corsa tyres were the probable culprit of my woes, and they were even though they had 6mm left on them! the Klebers are extremely quiet in comparison (bearing noise has now gone) and the car is now happy at any significant speed (previusly 70MPH was the limit where the car was starting to feel unstable) Moral of this story dont buy budjet far eastern made tyres! P.s. my fuel consumption is better as well :) Although only having these on for a few weeks they feel like a quality tyre. Time will tell how well they wear?
