Comparison: Dunlop All Season 2 vs. Kleber Quadraxer 3

In head-to-head test coverage across several Autobild test rounds, the Dunlop All Season 2 (our rating: 66%) and the Kleber Quadraxer 3 (our rating: 83%) show two different approaches to the all-season tyre brief. For manufacturer details see Dunlop and Kleber. Neither model is currently listed as replaced by a newer generation, and the Kleber model is the successor of the Quadraxer 2.

Summary of test positions and results

• Autobild (30 tyres): Kleber 8th vs Dunlop 15th.


• AUTOBILD (37 tyres): Kleber 7th vs Dunlop 11th.


• Overall lab rating: Kleber 83% — clearly ahead of Dunlop 66%.

Dunlop All Season 2 — strengths and weaknesses

• Strengths: excellent price/value ratio and outstanding mileage — repeatedly highlighted as the best in the cost/efficiency chapter. It also shows respectable snow traction in some tests and good fuel efficiency.


• Weaknesses: wet performance and lateral control on snow are recurring concerns: Autobild notes extended wet braking distances and moderate side guidance on snow. That combination pulls the overall score down despite its cost and longevity advantages.


• Best for: drivers prioritising long mileage and low running cost who accept compromises in wet braking and sportier handling on snow.

Kleber Quadraxer 3 — strengths and weaknesses

• Strengths: consistently higher positions in the comparative tests, with very good snow behaviour (short braking distances and confident snow cornering), good comfort and low exterior noise. Kleber also shows strong longitudinal aquaplaning resistance in at least one Autobild test.


• Weaknesses: moderate wet grip in some evaluations — testers flagged slightly longer wet braking distances compared with the category leaders. Still, these wet deficits are smaller than the Dunlop’s shortcomings.


• Best for: buyers seeking a well-balanced all-season tyre with particularly strong winter handling and a premium feel (Kleber is a competitive second-brand option in Michelin’s portfolio).

Head-to-head verdict
Across the aggregated test data, the Kleber Quadraxer 3 outperforms the Dunlop All Season 2 in overall ranking, real-world braking and handling balance, and comfort/noise metrics. The Kleber’s higher test positions (7th/8th) and its 83% rating reflect a more convincing all-round performance. The Dunlop’s key selling points remain its market-leading mileage and price/value — important for cost-conscious drivers — but its compromised wet braking and lateral snow control keep it behind Kleber in comparative safety and handling tests.

Recommendation: If you prioritise safety, balanced handling and quieter ride in mixed conditions, the Kleber Quadraxer 3 is the stronger pick. If your priority is maximum kilometres for the money and low running cost, consider the Dunlop All Season 2 but be aware of its wet- and snow-handling compromises.
