Where Continental AllSeasonContact 2 excels
Tests repeatedly highlight the AllSeasonContact 2’s strengths in wet handling, dry handling, snow traction, low exterior noise and rolling resistance. Test summaries call it an “ausgewogenes Multitalent” (balanced all‑rounder) with convincing performance on all surfaces and strong winter qualities. Downsides noted in reviews include only average aquaplaning reserves, a tendency toward understeer in some situations, and a higher price level. Overall verdict: excellent balance of grip, comfort and efficiency — a top choice for drivers seeking a confident all-season tyre with strong wet and winter performance.

Where Kleber Quadraxer 3 stands out
The Quadraxer 3 is consistently praised for snow handling, comfort and low exterior noise. Several test notes highlight its very good performance on snow and commend it as a strong value second‑brand product related to a premium manufacturer. It also shows good aquaplaning reserves in some tests and short dry braking distances. Weaknesses are clear: reviewers report reduced wet grip, delayed steering response and a tendency to understeer in wet conditions, plus somewhat longer wet braking distances compared with the Continental. The Kleber therefore suits drivers prioritising winter comfort and value, but who accept compromises on wet sportiness.

Head‑to‑head conclusion — which tyre is better?
Taken together, the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the stronger overall performer: higher test positions, broader praise for wet/dry/snow grip, lower rolling resistance and quieter operation give it the edge for most buyers. The Kleber Quadraxer 3 is a very competent alternative, particularly for drivers focused on winter traction and comfort at a generally lower cost, but it trails the Continental in wet handling and overall test rankings.
