This comparison looks at two all-round tyres tested by AutoBild: the Linglong Grip Master 4S and the Kleber Quadraxer 3. Both are positioned as allround tyres, but test results show clear differences in performance, strengths and weaknesses.
Test scores and positions
- Linglong Grip Master 4S — our rating: 59%. In AutoBild comparisons it finished around mid-to-lower table: position 20/35 in one test and 14/37 in another. Key praised attributes were comfort, dry handling and price/value.
- Kleber Quadraxer 3 — our rating: 82%. It ranked significantly higher: position 8/35 and 7/37. Test highlights include snow traction, snow braking, aquaplaning resistance, rolling resistance and generally strong comfort and noise figures. Made in PL, it is also the successor to the Kleber Quadraxer 2.
Summary of test findings (consolidated)
- Dry performance: Linglong shows confident and safe handling on dry roads, offering good comfort and reportedly high mileage — a clear advantage for budget-conscious drivers. Kleber also performs well on dry surfaces with short dry braking distances but can show slightly delayed steering response.
- Snow performance: Kleber is the clear winner — described as a “Schneetalent” with excellent traction, braking and cornering on snow. Linglong’s snow performance is weak, and it scored poorly on snowy tracks.
- Wet performance & aquaplaning: Kleber demonstrates secure aquaplaning behavior and solid wet results overall. Linglong has only moderate wet performance and limited reserves against aquaplaning, making it less safe in heavy rain.
- Comfort & noise: Both tyres score well for comfort, with Linglong often noted as especially comfortable and good value. Kleber also rates well for exterior noise and ride comfort.
- Efficiency: Kleber shows good rolling resistance in tests; Linglong’s strengths are more focused on price and tread life than top-tier efficiency.
Which tyre is better overall?
Across mutual tests the Kleber Quadraxer 3 consistently finished in higher positions and delivered superior performance in critical safety areas: snow handling, wet braking and aquaplaning resistance. With an overall rating of 82% it outperforms the Linglong Grip Master 4S (59%) by a substantial margin. If winter and wet-weather safety, plus low rolling resistance, are priorities, the Kleber is the better choice.
When to choose Linglong? Choose the Linglong Grip Master 4S if your priorities are budget, comfortable ride and long tread life, and you mostly drive on dry roads. It is a value option but carry the downside of limited wet/snow reserves.
When to choose Kleber? Choose the Kleber Quadraxer 3 for balanced all-weather safety, especially if you need strong snow traction and reliable aquaplaning behavior. It’s the stronger performer in tests and the safer pick for variable conditions.
No model replacements are listed for either tyre at this time; Kleber’s Quadraxer 3 follows the Quadraxer 2. Learn more from the manufacturers: Linglong and Kleber.
