Performance Analysis
Drawn from 10 tests. Updated August 26, 2025.
The Kleber Dynaxer HP4 delivers balanced mid-pack performance with standout comfort, low noise, and respectable efficiency and wear for a mid-range tire. Across 10 summer tests it typically ranks around the middle (avg. 12.2), with frequent top-tier noise results and solid value metrics. Wet performance is mixed-to-adequate, often trailing the leaders in wet braking and handling yet avoiding the bottom ranks, and aquaplaning resistance is usually mid-to-good. Dry braking/handling are generally average, occasionally slipping to lower-mid positions.
Overall, its strengths lie in cabin comfort, low abrasion/wear, and reasonable rolling resistance and pricing. Its primary weaknesses are wet grip consistency and dynamic handling pace, where it repeatedly sits outside the top groups. It suits comfort- and value-focused drivers more than those prioritizing peak wet/dry handling.

2023 ADAC Summer Tire Test
Driving Safety: The driving safety of the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 does not go beyond a satisfactory rating. It offers the driver only average feedback on the steering wheel on dry roads and could prove to be a bit more stable during dynamic evasive maneuvers. Its braking distance is still classified as good, but overall it just misses out on a good rating on dry roads. On wet roads, the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 does not get more than a satisfactory rating either. Although it scored well in the aquaplaning tests, it only performed satisfactorily in the braking distance measurements and handling. It lacks a bit of grip and precision for a better rating. Environmental balance: In the environmental balance, the Dynaxer HP4 secures a good result in the test. Both its predicted mileage and its abrasion are rated as good. The tire also scores with its low fuel consumption, but it just misses out on a good rating in terms of weight.
2022 ADAC 16" SUV Summer Tire Test
The Kleber Dynaxer HP4 offers good performance on dry roads and good wear behavior. In the wet, however, it shows slight weaknesses that lead to the devaluation of the overall rating. Overall, the tire is rated as recommendable.
2021 Auto Bild 16 Inch Summer Tire Test
Acceptable.
2021 ADAC Summer Tire Test - 225/50 R17
The Kleber Dynaxer HP4 is balanced on dry roads good good grip, control at the limit and short dry braking distances. Unfortunately the Dynaxer 4 doesn't score higher than average in the wet, with poor wet grip levels. Average noise levels, but slightly better than average fuel use.
