Worst ResultPerformance Analysis
Kleber Quadraxer 3 delivers a balanced all-season package with standout snow capability, consistently short dry braking for its class, and strong aquaplaning resistance. Across nine tests it averages mid-upper table (5.6 overall position), repeatedly placing top-3 in dry braking and near the front in straight/curved aquaplaning, while winning or podiuming multiple snow subtests. Comfort/noise and rolling resistance are generally good.
However, wet performance is its clear weakness: wet braking and handling repeatedly fall mid-to-lower half with sizable gaps to the best, and dry handling can also lag despite strong dry stopping. Value/wear are mid-pack rather than class-leading. Overall it suits mixed climates with frequent snow, but drivers prioritizing wet grip may prefer rivals.
