CrossClimate 2 OVERPRICED? Kleber Quadraxer 3 Alternative
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лют 2024
- KLEBER QUADRAXER 3 - Replacing the Michelin CrossClimate tires with a budget ALL SEASON tire with 3PMSF symbol that is just as good. As part of the Michelin Group, Kleber has created an all season tire that looks and drives like the CrossClimate 2.
In multiple tests (see links below!) the Quadraxer 3 and CrossClimate 2 are more or less on par with each other. They are both good in snow, both good in wet and dry braking and both very good in aquaplaning resistance.
Therefor, the Quadraxer 3 is just as good as many premium all season tires, but at a budget price-point. Which is nice if you want good and reliable all season tires, but are looking to spend a little less...

Thank you for this!
My pleasure! :-)
Hahaha loving the slowmo camera stuff :))
Thank you! Just doing some experimenting here and there :)
It should be because Kleber is a 2nd tier tire company that is owned by Micheline and the QUADRAXER 3 is based on CrossClimate 2 design. Just less warranty and less MPG.
Thanks! The MPG may be different for different users, but for me and two acquaintances the MPG is not any different from the Michelin CC tire. Warranty in terms of projected kilometres tread life is in favour of the Kleber Quadraxer 3 according to Auto Bild Germany (alltyretests.com/kleber-quadraxer-3-test-review/) . But even in the tread wear was equal I would personally still pick the Quadraxer over the CrossClimate, because of it's price difference. But that's just my personal opinion, based on the info I have gathered. That said, the Michelin CrossClimate tires are great too.
it's a bit like the brand Gislaved (old Swedish brand) that is owned by Continental, really decent in winter tyres but most often reused old Continental patterns. I think Nokian does that stuff better labelling "old new" stuff as Nokian Nordman.
Yeah, but how are you going to feel descending the snowy mountain rim, thinking you'd feel so much more comfortable and confident if you'd just sprung for the Michelins. A slide off with Michelins, blame the tires. Slide off with the knock offs, blame yourself.
I see your logic here. However I would think more like this: if the less than 1% performance-difference of another tire, is the ultimate difference between an accident or not: I should not have been driving there in the first place... And if were to drive snowy mountain rims often, I would not fit 3PMSF-Allseason tires at all (not CC2, not Kleber, not anything), but actual dedicated WINTERtires. 3PMSF-Allseason tires will get you home when it snows in most regular situations, but are really not intended for heavy winter-use in snowy mountain-regions.
Case in point. I've ordered the same Michelins for my granddaughter RAV4. I researched the tire, testing, popularity and sales. And I'll always do this where the rubber meets the road. Safety #1.
Because, I learned the hard way. For a bargain budget facsimile. Totally different dynamic, an decommissioned patrol car, Crown Victoria.
I don't even remember the name, but a triple peak all winter V-pattern unidirectional aggressive monster for Michigan winter. Although it LOOKED like Goodyear Ultra Grips that I had much experience with in the 1990- early 2000.
These knock offs, mounted and on my way home, sent me sideways looking at mail boxes. They simply loaded up with snow, poor self cleaning, and began to float away. Admittedly, rear drive was probably a factor. One of my biggest mistakes. I will NEVER trust another tire because it LOOKS like a popular proven tire. Seriously, words of wisdom. Not worth your life and family. I would stare at that tread in disbelief something so aggressive is a potential disaster tire.
Then I felt maybe as a consolation, the tire would be good off road, being, my driveway. Negative. The huge V cleats simply dug trenches below the tire to the frame. The big blue cruiser went straight down, not forward. The original all season tire spun atop the driveway surface, pushing the beast forward at a slow embarrassingly pace. But FORWARD. Not down. An extremely peculiar knockoff tire. All looks. They got me!
Blizzaks 80,90, DMV2 etc, GY ultra grip etc , years of experience with performance above and beyond expectations.
At the end of the day, if they work,... they work. And you saved money. Myself, I learned a good lesson, and it would be foolish to defy it. I'll work extra overtime, or cut corners elsewhere to protect myself and my family. Godspeed!
Michelin rules. you get what you pay for
I definitely agree with you, never trust a tire by just it's looks or price. Always do your own research based on your own predicted use and needs. And that probably goes for many other things in life too, haha.
In this case I did my research and am sharing my own conclusions, experience and thoughts. However, because of your reaction I did realise an important thing: I forgot to put the links to some of the professional tests of this tire in the video description. That is now fixed :). So thank you for your reply, be well and drive safe!
Quadraxer looks pretty fine on deep snow. just like many professional tests confirmed also.
it is made in Poland where they have lots of snow and mountains so thats usually a good sign. this is good test too by amateur:
