Firestone MultiSeason Gen 02 vs Kleber Quadraxer 3

Test Results

Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been seven tests which compare both tires directly!

While it might look like the Kleber Quadraxer 3 is better than the Firestone MultiSeason Gen 02 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.

Key Strengths

Firestone MultiSeason Gen 02

• Strong wet performance: multiple wins in wet braking/handling and wet circle
• Low rolling resistance and good fuel economy potential
• Competitive snow braking/traction in several tests
• Generally keen pricing/value in some sizes

Kleber Quadraxer 3

• Consistently short dry braking (won all shared dry braking metrics)
• Excellent aquaplaning resistance (straight and curved)
• Very competent on snow with high grip and control
• High comfort scores and strong mileage/value in key tests

Real World Driver Reviews

Conclusion

Kleber Quadraxer 3 is the more rounded performer across the test set, with clear, repeatable advantages in dry braking, snow capability, and aquaplaning safety-key confidence builders for mixed-climate drivers. Its comfort scores and projected mileage/value in several tests strengthen its day-to-day appeal. The trade-off is average wet handling feel and slightly higher rolling resistance in some sizes.

Firestone MultiSeason Gen 02 delivers where many all-season buyers drive most: consistent wet braking/handling, low rolling resistance, and fair pricing. However, its weaker dry braking and limited aquaplaning reserves in multiple tests cap its overall ranking. For drivers prioritizing wet-road reassurance and efficiency on a budget, Firestone fits well; for broad-spectrum safety with strong dry and snow stopping plus aquaplaning security, Kleber is the safer, more complete choice.

Key Differences

• Overall results: Kleber outplaced Firestone in all 7 shared tests (e.g., 7/37 vs 22/37 in 2024 market overview).
• Dry braking: Kleber leads by meaningful margins, often 5-12% shorter stopping distances.
• Wet behavior split: Firestone frequently wins wet braking/handling laps, while Kleber counters with superior aquaplaning safety.
• Snow: Both are capable, but Kleber more often tops snow handling/slalom; Firestone occasionally edges snow braking/traction.
• Comfort/refinement: Kleber regularly scores higher in subjective comfort.
• Efficiency: Firestone tends to have lower rolling resistance and price, while Kleber sometimes delivers longer wear and better cost-per-1,000 km.

Overall Winner: Kleber Quadraxer 3

Based on the tire test data and user reviews we have in our database, the Kleber Quadraxer 3 has demonstrated better overall performance in this comparison.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
