Performance Analysis

Across 14 all-season tests, the Kleber Quadraxer 3 consistently excels in snow performance, braking on dry roads, aquaplaning resistance, comfort, and noise, earning one Recommended award and an average overall position of 6.1. It frequently places top-three in snow metrics and dry braking, with multiple podiums for straight aquaplaning and strong rolling resistance results. Comfort and noise are standout subjective strengths, often leading the field.

Its main weakness is wet grip and handling, where it repeatedly finishes in the bottom third for wet braking, wet handling, and wet circle times across years and sizes. Dry handling can also lag despite strong dry braking. Overall, it's a winter-leaning, comfort-focused all-season tyre with good efficiency, offset by clear wet-performance limitations.
