Kleber Quadraxer 3 vs Viking FourTech Plus — a direct comparison based on all available test results and lab summaries. Below we consolidate positions from multiple AUTOBILD tests, highlight strengths and weaknesses and give a clear verdict on which tyre performs better overall.


Summary of test scores and positions


  • Kleber Quadraxer 3 — overall rating: 82%. Test positions: 8/30 (Autobild), 7/37 (AUTOBILD). Strong showings in snow performance, comfort and low exterior noise.

  • Viking FourTech Plus — overall rating: 54%. Test positions: 21/30 (Autobild), 10/37 (AUTOBILD). Noted for aquaplaning resistance but weaker in dry braking and overall handling.


Where each tyre excels


  • Kleber Quadraxer 3: Repeatedly praised for snow traction, snow braking and snow cornering, plus good comfort and low exterior noise. Tests also highlight decent aquaplaning reserves and acceptable rolling resistance for its class. Review summaries note it as a leading second-brand model from a premium maker (Michelin), making it a standout winter allrounder.

  • Viking FourTech Plus: Shows relative strengths in aquaplaning resistance (longitudinal and cross) and delivers good wet-road performance in some tests. Positioned as an affordable snow-capable option with competent wet handling.


Main weaknesses and trade-offs


  • Kleber Quadraxer 3: Slightly weaker on dry grip in some tests and flagged for higher rolling resistance, which can mean increased fuel/energy use compared with top-performing competitors.

  • Viking FourTech Plus: Suffers from longer braking distances and vague handling on dry surfaces, plus only moderate snow performance and average wear characteristics in test summaries — factors that lowered its overall score considerably.


Head-to-head conclusion
Across the shared test suite the Kleber Quadraxer 3 consistently finished ahead of the Viking FourTech Plus in overall ranking and in key winter performance categories. While Viking can be a budget-friendly choice with notable aquaplaning strengths, the Kleber is the stronger all-round performer — especially on snow and in noise/comfort metrics. If your priority is the best balanced winter performance and confidence in snow, Kleber Quadraxer 3 is the better pick. If budget and wet aquaplaning resistance are primary concerns, the Viking FourTech Plus remains a sensible choice but with clear limitations.


Replacement status: Neither model is listed as replaced in the current dataset — no newer direct replacements are referenced.
