Overview

The Michelin CrossClimate 2 and the Kleber Quadraxer 3 are positioned as all-round, year‑round tyres with a clear focus on snow performance. Neither model is listed as replaced by a newer sibling on our site (no replacement model recorded).

Summary of test results and relative positions

Across multiple independent tests the two tyres trade places, but the overall picture favors Michelin. Our aggregated rating gives the CrossClimate 2 92% versus the Quadraxer 3 81%. In large AUTOBILD comparisons the CrossClimate 2 finished 4th/37 (and 9th/15 in another edition) while the Quadraxer 3 finished 7th/37 and 4th/15. TyreReviews named the CrossClimate 2 a test winner, highlighting its dry braking and snow performance. Taken together, Michelin more frequently appears at or near the top of the leaderboards; Kleber is a strong mid‑range performer that sometimes outplaces Michelin depending on the test focus.

Strengths and weaknesses — Michelin CrossClimate 2

Strengths: Outstanding snow traction and handling, excellent dry braking, very good aquaplaning resistance, low rolling resistance and high comfort. Tests repeatedly praise its snow performance and balanced behaviour on wet and dry.

Weaknesses: Some tests point to only average wet braking/handling and a relatively higher price. A few earlier reports flagged slightly modest wet lateral grip compared with very best dedicated winter tyres.

Test highlights: Often top scorer for snow braking/traction and dry braking; praised as a test winner for overall balance and economy (low rolling resistance).

Strengths and weaknesses — Kleber Quadraxer 3

Strengths: Very good comfort and low noise, strong snow grip and handling, good dry braking and excellent aquaplaning reserves in several tests. Also noted for value — good performance at a lower price point.

Weaknesses: Tendency to understeer on wet roads and somewhat delayed steering response; rolling resistance is higher than the best in class which can affect fuel economy.

Test highlights: Regularly praised for comfort and snow ability; occasionally finishes ahead of Michelin in snow‑focused or comfort‑weighted tests.

Head-to-head verdict

If you prioritise an all‑round top performer with class‑leading snow ability, excellent dry braking and economy, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is the stronger choice overall. It consistently scores higher in aggregate rankings and wins head-to-head credibility in independent lab and road tests.
If budget, ride comfort and very good snow capability are your main criteria, the Kleber Quadraxer 3 represents better value. It can beat Michelin in specific comfort or snow‑biased tests and offers reassuring aquaplaning performance, but it concedes ground in wet handling precision and efficiency.
