Toyo Celsius AS2 vs Kleber Quadraxer 3 — comparison and verdict
This comparison summarizes independent test data and lab reviews for the Toyo Celsius AS2 and the Kleber Quadraxer 3. It aggregates Autobild and TyreReviews findings to give a clear picture of strengths, weaknesses and overall ranking so you can choose the best all‑round tyre for your needs.
Quick headline: the Kleber Quadraxer 3 is the stronger performer across mutual tests and scores much higher in our ratings (83% vs 54% for the Toyo). Neither model is listed as replaced by a newer model.
Aggregate test summary
Across Autobild test runs (different years and test sizes) the Kleber consistently finished toward the top: 4th/15 and 7th/37. The Toyo Celsius AS2 finished lower in the same comparisons at 12th/15 and 12th/37. Independent reviews (TyreReviews and test writeups) echo the same pattern: Kleber praised for winter grip and general balance; Toyo praised for mileage and value but penalised for wet/snow handling.
Strengths and weaknesses — what each tyre does best
- Kleber Quadraxer 3 (made in PL) — key strengths: excellent snow traction and braking, strong aquaplaning resistance (longitudinal tests), short dry braking distances, and generally good comfort and exterior noise levels. Test notes mention it as an “all-rounder” with convincing behaviour on snow and ice. Main weakness: a tendency to understeer on wet/dry surfaces and slightly delayed steering response in some wet tests.
- Toyo Celsius AS2 (made in JP) — key strengths: very good mileage and price/value, comfortable ride and low exterior noise in some tests, and solid aquaplaning reserves in certain test conditions. Main weaknesses: lower grip in wet and snowy conditions, understeer and delayed steering response on wet/slippery surfaces, higher rolling resistance in some reports, and generally weaker winter performance versus Kleber.
Mutual test positions and head-to-head
When compared directly in the same test pools the Kleber placed clearly ahead of the Toyo (4th vs 12th in a 15‑tyre test; 7th vs 12th in a 37‑tyre test). This consistent gap shows the Quadraxer 3 delivers better balanced performance across wet, dry and snow, while the Celsius AS2 focuses on longevity and economy at the expense of wet/snow grip.
Verdict — which should you choose?
Choose the Kleber Quadraxer 3 if you want a true all‑rounder with superior winter performance, short dry braking distances and confidence in aquaplaning tests. It’s the better pick for safety and balanced handling in mixed seasonal conditions.
Choose the Toyo Celsius AS2 if your priority is long mileage and low cost per kilometre, combined with decent comfort and aquaplaning reserves — but be aware of compromised wet and snow grip. The Celsius AS2 is a budget‑focused option rather than a top performer in mixed‑condition tests.
