Data updated
Which should you buy?
Pick the Kleber Quadraxer 3 if dry braking and straight-line aquaplaning resistance matter most to you, and you can live with Auto Bild's repeated criticism of its wet braking and wet handling. Pick the Dunlop All Season 2 if you want the more confident wet handling balance and much longer projected tread life, but be aware its dry braking is consistently poor in these Auto Bild results and is penalised in the 2026 test.
Where the All Season 2 is stronger
- Stronger wet handling and wet circle grip in Auto Bild's 2024 to 2026 all-season tests, typically by around 1 to 4 percent.
- Much longer projected tread life in Auto Bild's 2024 to 2026 all-season tests, roughly a third higher than Kleber each year.
- Lower rolling resistance and better running-cost figures in Auto Bild's 2024 to 2026 all-season tests.
Where the Quadraxer 3 is stronger
- Consistently shorter dry braking in every shared result, about 6 to 8 percent ahead in Auto Bild's 2024 to 2026 data.
- Usually better straight-line aquaplaning resistance, including a near 10 percent advantage in Auto Bild's 2025 all-season test.
- Quieter pass-by noise in Auto Bild's 2024 to 2026 all-season tests, by about 1 to 1.5 dB.

Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tires; a tick marks the tire 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 6 tests, 2024 to 2026
Each row is one published test in which both tires 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 tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Dunlop All Season 2
- 70%from 7 reviews
- 43%would buy again
- 47,065 milesdriven by reviewers
Drivers' feedback on the Dunlop All Season 2 is mixed but generally favorable, with the highest-scoring reviews strongly praising confident all-season traction-especially in wet and colder conditions-and good real-world mileage. Several users also describe it as good value and secure in everyday driving. A smaller but recurring set of comments mentions noticeable noise/squeal and less satisfying handling/understeer on warmer, dry roads; one very low score reports poor sidewall durability but this is not widely echoed.
- Strong grip/traction in wet and cold conditions
- Good all-season versatility (including light snow capability)
- Good tread life/mileage when maintained
- Good value for money
- Noticeable road noise/squeaking
- Less precise handling on warm/dry roads (can feel like understeer)
Summarised by AI from 7 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tire page.
All 7 All Season 2 reviewsFrom my experience tire is very good in cold, wet and damp condition. On dry and warmer asphalt not so great at handling.
Wear is expetional, they wear very little.
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 tire 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 tire
- 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)

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.
These two all-season tires have been compared directly in six independent Auto Bild data sets: the full Auto Bild all-season tests in 2024, 2025 and 2026, plus the accompanying larger field braking and market-overview tables in 2024, 2025 and 2026.
On overall result, the Kleber Quadraxer 3 more often places ahead in Auto Bild's rankings, finishing higher in 2025 and 2026, while the Dunlop All Season 2 has one clear overall edge year, in 2024.
Where it gets interesting is how they get there. Across these shared results, Kleber's big, repeatable advantage is dry braking and usually straight-line aquaplaning. Dunlop's repeatable strengths are wet cornering and wet handling stability, plus much stronger projected wear and running-cost figures in the Auto Bild tests that include them.
Conclusion
Taken together, the shared Auto Bild results paint a fairly consistent picture of each tire's character. The Kleber Quadraxer 3 is the safer bet if your priority is dry emergency stopping, it beats the Dunlop on dry braking in every shared result by roughly 6 to 8 percent (for example in Auto Bild's 2026 all-season test). It also tends to carry better straight-line aquaplaning margins, with a sizeable gap in Auto Bild's 2025 all-season test where it runs close to 10 percent higher before planing. That said, Auto Bild repeatedly flags the Kleber's wet braking and wet handling as weak points, most notably in 2026 where it has the longest wet braking and is among the slowest on wet handling despite finishing a solid seventh overall.
The Dunlop All Season 2 is almost the mirror image. In Auto Bild's 2024, 2025 and 2026 all-season tests it is regularly the better tire around a wet circuit and on wet handling, with small but repeatable gains (about 1 to 4 percent, depending on year). It can also brake well on snow in 2025 and 2026, but it is not uniformly ahead in winter, in Auto Bild's 2024 test the Kleber is stronger across several snow disciplines, including a large advantage in snow slalom.
The biggest consistency for Dunlop is actually its weakness, long dry braking. Auto Bild calls it out explicitly in 2025 and 2026, and in 2026 it triggers the publication's safety penalty. If you do high mileage, though, the Dunlop's endurance chapters are a clear win in every full Auto Bild test here, with roughly a third more predicted tread life than the Kleber and lower measured running-cost figures, alongside slightly lower rolling resistance. Kleber tends to be the quieter tire on pass-by noise across these tests, while Dunlop takes the comfort win where it is measured in 2026.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires 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 Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
