Vredestein Quatrac vs Kleber Quadraxer 3 — a direct comparison of two popular all‑season tyres based on multiple independent tests. If you want the full technical pages, check the tyre reviews here: Vredestein Quatrac and Kleber Quadraxer 3. Manufacturer information: Vredestein and Kleber.
Overall test scoring gives the Vredestein Quatrac a clear edge on paper (our rating: 94%) versus the Kleber Quadraxer 3 (our rating: 82%). That gap is reflected in several shared test results: in Autobild head‑to‑head comparisons Vredestein typically finished ahead (for example 2nd vs 4th in a 15‑tyre test, and 5th vs 7th in a 37‑tyre test).
Where Vredestein Quatrac shines
- Wet performance and aquaplaning resistance: Multiple tests highlight exceptional wet handling, short wet braking distances and strong aquaplaning reserves — Vredestein is regularly described as a “wet specialist”.
- Low noise and comfort: Exterior noise and comfortable roll are frequent positives in test summaries.
- Balanced winter ability: Snow traction and braking are consistently good for an all‑season tyre, making it genuinely versatile year‑round.
Weaknesses of the Quatrac include average wear/longevity in some tests and mixed remarks on rolling resistance. In certain reports its rolling resistance was described as higher than average, while other evaluations flagged it as efficient — overall a modest downside compared with its wet and snow strengths.
Where Kleber Quadraxer 3 shines
- Snow performance: The Kleber is frequently praised as a strong winter performer — excellent grip, short snow braking distances and confident snow handling.
- Dry braking and comfort: Tests point to good dry braking and a very comfortable ride; it also scores well for exterior noise and ride quality.
- Aquaplaning and efficiency (mixed): Several tests highlight good aquaplaning reserves and even list rolling resistance as a positive, though other evaluations note higher than average rolling resistance.
Weaknesses of the Quadraxer 3 are most notable on wet roads: testers repeatedly report subdued wet handling, delayed steering response and a tendency toward understeer in wet conditions. That reduces its safety margin relative to the Vredestein in heavy rain or emergency manoeuvres.
Both tyres are modern all‑season designs. The Kleber Quadraxer 3 is the successor to the Quadraxer 2 and focuses on winter grip and comfort, while the Vredestein Quatrac aims for a more rounded package with superior wet‑weather safety.
Verdict — which to choose? If your driving includes frequent wet conditions, heavy rain or you prioritise shortest possible emergency braking on wet roads, the Vredestein Quatrac is the safer, higher‑scoring all‑round option. If you live in an area with regular snow and want the best compromise of snow traction, dry braking and ride comfort at a lower price point, the Kleber Quadraxer 3 is an excellent value choice — but expect compromised wet handling.
Final short summary: Vredestein = better overall test performance and wet safety; Kleber = stronger snow performance and comfort but weaker on wet handling. Choose based on the weather you most often face.
