Comparison: BFGoodrich Advantage All Season vs. Kleber Quadraxer 3 (2026)

Wet performance is where cracks appear in the BFGoodrich's case. Average wet braking stands at 49.3m for the BFGoodrich and 48.2m for the Kleber across two tests — a gap that widens significantly when you look at the 2025 test alone: 51.1m versus 47.9m, a full 3.2 metres in favour of the Kleber. Both tyres share a known weakness in wet handling — understeer and delayed steering response are recurring criticisms from professional testers — but the Kleber keeps these tendencies better in check. The BFGoodrich does have one genuine wet advantage: its aquaplaning resistance score of 84 edges the Kleber's 81.6, meaning it sheds standing water efficiently at speed. In overall wet conditions though, the Kleber's combination of shorter braking and better grip balance gives it the edge for drivers who encounter mixed rain and spray on a regular basis.

In dry conditions, both tyres perform respectably, and the braking numbers across two measured tests are relatively close: the BFGoodrich averages 40.0m and the Kleber 38.8m — a difference of 1.2 metres that is meaningful in real-world emergency situations. The BFGoodrich does show genuine dry braking strength; in the 2023 AutoBild braking test with 35 tyres, it ranked 7th overall with a 38.9m stop. The Kleber matched it at 38.3m in the same test but fell to 8th, illustrating how narrow the gap is in this dimension. However, in the more recent 2025 AutoBild test the BFGoodrich conceded more ground — 41.0m versus the Kleber's 39.3m — and finished 18th out of 30 while the Kleber sat 8th. Both tyres have a noted tendency to understeer when pushed hard in dry corners, so neither rewards an aggressive driving style, but the Kleber's dry performance has proven more consistent across test vintages.

Snow is where the gap between these two tyres becomes most pronounced. The Kleber Quadraxer 3 scored an exceptional 87.8 in our snow performance metric, and professional testers have repeatedly described it as operating at near-winter-tyre levels — a genuinely impressive achievement for an all-season. Its predecessor, the Kleber Quadraxer 2, was already well-regarded in this area, and the third generation pushes the benchmark further still. Snow handling, traction, and braking all rank among the best in class for a non-dedicated winter tyre. The BFGoodrich Advantage All Season is no slouch either, scoring 80.7, and testers acknowledged its traction and braking competence on snow. But against the Kleber it is clearly the secondary option — for drivers who see genuine winter weather regularly, the Quadraxer 3's superiority on snow is one of its defining strengths.

The comfort story is one of the starkest differences in this comparison. The Kleber Quadraxer 3 scores 88.8 for comfort against the BFGoodrich's 74.5 — a 14-point gap that real owners absolutely notice. Across 13 verified reviews on TyreReviews the Kleber averages 90/100, with quietness mentioned as a standout trait by multiple buyers. One Skoda owner noted they absorbed bumps far better than the summer tyres they replaced; an Audi A6 driver praised their all-conditions safety and comfort combination. The Kleber brand may not carry prestige, but it delivers refinement. Rolling resistance also favours the Kleber significantly — 83.7 versus 75.0 — which translates to lower fuel consumption over time, and its mileage score of 63.6 outpaces the BFGoodrich's 59, a weakness specifically flagged by testers as a concern for the American tyre given its price.
