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.
What owners mention most counted across 29 reviews
Bought these tires because they are really simular to the Michelin Crossclimate 2's. But a lot more affordable. I've driven the CC2's so I believe I can compare them quite well.
I can keep my review of the Quadraxer 3 quite short and just say this hand over heart: really just as good as Michelin Crossclimate 2 in all conditions. And actually better in wet & rainy conditions in terms of aquaplaning and grip.
Great in snowy conditions too.
Will they last as long as Michelin? Maybe. I've done 12.000 km on them and the wear on them is minimal.
Kleber is part of the Michelin group, so it is easy to see how the technology found in the cross-climate has trickled down to this tire. I currently drive a Suzuki Vitara 2019, and the bulk of my drive is done by the wife commuting and my two big trips a year from Scotland to Italy or Poland.
Motorway driving is on par with many other tires; the wind noise coming from the car is always louder than the tires themselves, so no trouble there; you get just a wee bit less fuel efficiency overall (compared to the more expensive choice), but it is nothing to transcendental, on the dry they are as good as you can imagine, you can get the edge of the grip quick enough(most probably is the car been heavier than a hatchback) but is relatively easy to understand and current, they give a good road feel and absorb potholes quite well, on the wet they are great, having directional tread (similar to corossclimate) it helps to dissipate the water and they have never felt unsafe or lacking grip.
The same goes for the snow. I took the car to the Alps last year, and it was a breeze. Traction control never had to engage, and the drive felt smooth and safe.
I've driven almost 30.000 miles and still have more than 3mm left on the tread. I'll probably get another set unless I find something more interesting to try.

I really don't understand why so many reviews say that the grip and handling on dry and wet is good with these tires. In the tire test there is only one that shows the reality (2023 Auto Zeitung All Season Tire Test).
I was the biggest fan of KLEBER Quadraxer 2. I had 4 sets. 2 on a corsa D and 2 on my astra j with life span of 45 - 55.000km for each set. You could screech those tires as much as you like, they wouldn't let go! Fabulous! Until I bought Quadraxer 3 :(. First twisted road I got the chance (10 degrees Celsius outside when Quadraxer 2 excelled) I felt like on winter tires on a summer day, it was absolutely scary! I understand that they probably wanted better handling in snow but I think they went overboard. Sorry but sadly I'm leaving the Quadraxer fan club. It was a really good run!

These tires are impressive. I have tested them in all-weather conditions, from the scorching heat in summer (air temperature up to 38°C), to a torrential rainfall, to spring/autumn temperatures, and to the cold winter temperatures. Plus, I have tested them in snow and ice.
- Scorching heat: in summer temperatures and in the dry, they perform well, with good grip, good braking and low understeer.
- Wet: as the tests revealed, these tires have outstanding aquaplaning resistance, with no significant issues even at high speed. I have always had good grip on wet conditions.
- Mid-seasons temperatures: when temperatures start to fall to around 15°C, these tires get even better than in summer, showing a slightly better grip in all conditions.
- Winter: these tires shine in winter. They are clearly winter-oriented, as as soon as the temperatures get near freezing level, the grip rises even more.
- Snow: I have tested them on around 15cm of snow. Amazing tires. It truly felt like I was driving in the dry. I had no issues whatsoever, and the car movements were literally the same as in the dry. I didn't even need to adjust my driving to the snow.
- Ice: To my biggest surprise, I was able to move effortlessly even in ice! It felt like I was driving in the snow... the car moved forward, laterally, and in reverse gear without any issue. It felt like I was using winter tires.
In conclusion, these tires are outstanding, and they give their best in snow/ice and winter conditions, even if they are definitely good also in summer and mid-season weather. I do recommend them!
I have purchased the tires to replace the Barum Quadralis 5 which did the job well for 3 full years (6 seasons). Klebers were considered an upgrade. However, there is one design issue - the tires get very loud roar after you reach about 135 km/h. Loads of roar. It lessens a little bit at 140 km/h. This was considered a quiet tire, but it is not. At least not at the speeds. I will not buy again.
I have been driving on kleber for a year sharp.Had all seasons gone through. I bought kleber after watching Jonathan's previous AS tires test (the one without conti tires) The only thing I paid attention was how good AS would deal with winter condition as I have not very fresh winter tires. The test showed that, for low price, one could get a decent almost close to winter tire. In a nutshell, if you are looking for a tire that can handle safe in snow condition take quadraxer3 or it's clone tire bfgoodritch.
I drove these for 10k KM's so far.
I fitted these as my "winter set" instead of my old winter tires - so I don't have to rush to replace them for the summer set (Michelin PS5) because I live far form the tire storage.
I've had them fitted since October last year and I'm still impressed mostly by the comfort and how QUIET they are.
I've mostly driven them in the dry and I find the grip adequate. I never felt unsafe in them - especially in hard braking.
In the rain I'd say they drain the water well and provide decent grip, and safe braking.
Didn't test in snow.
Didn't notice any wear so far.
Overall, surprisingly good tire for the price. I paid 64 EUR per tire for 205/55/16 - Made in Poland.
I bought them based on the TireReviews video of all season test in 2023 where they were recommended and in 3rd place ( Thanks John!!).
They remind me of of Michelin CrossClimate - the tread pattern looks really similar.
If they perform well throughout in the next seasons, I would easily recommend them.
I had this tire on my shortlist. My priorities were good wet grip, ride comfort, and the ability to tackle anything Winter throws at them.
I have not encountered any snow despite making two round trips through the Alps this Winter. These tires are excellent for cruising as they are quiet and absorb a lot of the imperfections in the road. Wet grip is excellent and also their aqua plane resistance. They were a lot better value than Michelin Cross Climate 2’s, and it will be interesting to see how long the Klebers last.
This is the first time I have bought Kleber tires, and I will certainly continue to buy them. The only thing I would like to see would be an option for rim protectors.
Many thanks to Tirereviews.com for all the information that helped me choose these tires.
I´ve bought these tires after long considering which all season tire would be best for mild central europe weather. Since my milage has been around 15 000 km per year, mostly town or highways and I wanted good value for money, I have choosen Kleber Quadraxer 3. I ride them since march 2022 and after circa 10 000 km driven, I have decided to share my opinion and experience with these tires.
1) Dry handling is farly good. I dont drive sporty and tires never had any problem with handling or braking in emergency situations.
2) Aquaplaning resistance is outstanding. I have never had tire so good in deep water or driving in heavy rain on highway. This is one of the best feature of these tires. Handling on wet is slightly understeering but still very predictable and safe.
3) Snow. I was worried how will tires handle on snow or icy roads. After couple days, when I was driving on snowy roads a realized, that I can not recognize any different between all-season and winter tires. Grip, breaking, steering: all was as good as I remember when I drove with regular winter tires.
Only negative I found on these tire was (surprisingly for me) annoying noise at around 90 kmh speed. Anywhere slower or faster, tires were quiet. I thing this must be problem caused by tire size, because low tire noise is supposed to be pros of these tires.

I write my experience after 1 year driving with this tire ( made in Poland). I am form Belgium,where the weather I always changing.It's really perfect tire for daily driving,very still and comfortable.We are using this car every day for short distances,10 - 10 km in the morning and in the afternoon,only to go to work and came home, and few times per year on highway ( max 2000km)... I think a normal driver don't need more from his tire: good grip in dry and wet( also around 0 degrees, noise is very low,comfort is good,and the wear 0.5 mm after 11.000 km on the front,and rear is less....i don't have big experience with snow, was only 1 day when it was snowing, but during the driving the ABS was not necessary. I am sure is perfect for daily driving! Fuel consumption is more (with the comparisation with summer tire), cca 0.2 l/100km....but you drive in safety full year. I recommend this 100%
