Kleber Quadraxer 3 — strengths & weaknesses
Strengths: the Quadraxer 3 repeatedly scores highly for snow braking, snow handling, aquaplaning resistance and ride comfort. Tests call it a “snow king” with performance approaching winter tyre levels while remaining competent on dry roads. It is also praised for stable behavior in water and for relatively short dry braking distances.
Weaknesses: reviewers note delayed steering response and understeer on wet surfaces, which reduce driving precision in demanding wet handling. Overall rating is solid but below the Hankook, reflecting the more specialist leaning toward snowy/wet safety rather than all‑round sporting feel.

Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 — strengths & weaknesses
Strengths: the Kinergy 4S2 scores top marks for dry handling, short dry and wet braking distances, comfort and low rolling resistance. Multiple reports call it a “dry dynamics” tyre that still performs very well on snow and ice, and it took the higher ranking in mixed test fields.
Weaknesses: its main compromises are poorer aquaplaning resistance and only average snow performance in some wet‑heavy or deep‑snow scenarios. Some testers also mention average longevity and economy relative to peers.

Head‑to‑head verdict
Across the combined test evidence, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 is the better all‑round choice for drivers who want a balanced, high‑scoring tyre with superior dry and wet braking and low rolling resistance. The Kleber Quadraxer 3 is the stronger pick if your priority is best possible performance in snow and strong aquaplaning resistance — especially valuable in regions with frequent slush, standing water or heavy winter conditions.

If you want the higher overall test placing and more confident dry performance, choose the Hankook; if you prioritise winter safety and water handling, the Kleber is the specialist option. Both are solid all‑season/allround contenders — the final choice depends on the local climate and your driving priorities.
