Short comparison — Kleber Quadraxer 3 vs Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3
This head-to-head looks at two popular all-season tyres: the Kleber Quadraxer 3 (our rating: 81%) and the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 (our rating: 95%). Both are marketed as allround/all-season solutions, but independent test results show clear differences in strengths, weaknesses and overall ranking.
Kleber Quadraxer 3 — summary of test data and verdict
The Kleber Quadraxer 3 (made in PL) is consistently praised for its winter performance and comfort. Across tests it scores particularly well for snow handling, snow traction and ride comfort, and was highlighted as a strong second‑brand offering derived from a premium manufacturer. Key test notes include short dry braking distances in some reviews, but also a tendency to understeer on dry roads and a slightly higher rolling resistance leading to increased energy consumption.
Notable test positions: in Autobild group tests the Quadraxer 3 placed 5th of 11 and 7th of 37 in large comparative tests, showing it is competitive but not class‑leading. Strengths: snow performance and comfort. Weaknesses: weaker dry handling and higher wear/roll resistance.
Verdict: the Kleber is an excellent value-focused winter-capable all‑season tyre for buyers prioritising comfort and snowy-road confidence. It is less suited for drivers seeking top dry handling or the best fuel economy.
Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 — summary of test data and verdict
The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 is the clear performance leader in the available tests. With an overall score of 95%, it frequently tops comparative lists: it was 1st of 11 in one Autobild test and 2nd of 37 in another. Test reports highlight outstanding attributes: dry performance and braking, exemplary aquaplaning resistance (longitudinal and cross), confident wet handling and strong snow cornering and traction.
Trade-offs: reviewers note above-average wear — the SF3 can be more susceptible to faster tread wear under sporty use. Still, its dynamic handling, wet and dry braking, and best-in-test aquaplaning performance make it the most rounded choice.

Head‑to‑head and overall conclusion
Across mutual tests the Pirelli consistently finishes ahead of the Kleber: first places and podiums for the SF3 versus mid-top placements for the Quadraxer 3. Where the Kleber shines — snow comfort and traction — the Pirelli matches or exceeds those abilities while also delivering superior dry and wet braking, aquaplaning resistance and handling. The main advantage the Kleber retains is cost-effectiveness and slightly more forgiving comfort characteristics.
In short: if you want the most balanced, best-performing all‑season tyre in mixed conditions, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 is the stronger choice. If your priorities are budget, comfort and very good winter performance without needing top sporty handling or the lowest rolling resistance, the Kleber Quadraxer 3 is a solid pick.
Neither model is listed as replaced by a newer successor at the time of testing. For more manufacturer details visit Kleber’s pages and Pirelli’s all‑season section: Kleber and Pirelli Allround.
