Kleber Quadraxer Reviews - Page 4

Given 81% while driving a Vauxhall Astra SRi CDTi 1.9 150 (225/45 R17 V) on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles
I bought these tyres out of desperation last winter when I could not find any winter tyres available anywhere for love nor money. I had the tyres fitted to the front axle for traction and from the outset I could feel a distinct difference between these and the previously fitted summer tyres. During the first 200 miles or so of moderate driving the car felt stable and made steady progress in light snow covered roads, slush and ice. Once the snow and ice had disappeared the tyres performed well in the wet and dry with good braking traction. They needed about 400 miles or so to bed in to provide what I would describe as a comfortable and positive drive and have performed well for the last 1500 miles on all road surfaces during the colder temperatures. My only disappointment has been their road handling and traction on wet roads whilst negotiating roundabouts for which reason I mark them down on progression and wet grip. The sidewall profile and flexibility of the tyre leads to a rolling sensation and slight loss of traction in the steering. I would not use these tyres all year and will look to fit summer tyres now that the warmer weather is coming and for more spirited driving. As a last resort purchase during the winter they have served well and are highly recommended for sensible driving during cold weather snow and ice and I will happily refit them next winter to see me through the worst of the weather. Not enough miles done to assess their wear but they appear to be lasting well. As with all tyres, the correct tyre pressure is a must have to get the best out of these tyres. Not the most aesthetically pleasing tyre to look at with a plethora of information imprinted on the sidewall.

One word - Brilliant!

These Kleber Quadraxer's are made by Michelin and so you're getting excellent quality 'brand name' tyres under a budget name at budget price!

I wanted tyres to help in the snow/heavy rain/slush and these all season tyres seemed to be the answer. They are a million times better in the wet than my old tyres (Bravius), it feels like driving in the dry even when it's wet.

The tread is nice and chunky, so if (WHEN!) the snow arrives again, they should also give a bit more traction than before.

Overall these are excellent all-season tyres for the price (£68 each at Event tyres) and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Given 91% while driving a Smart Fortwo MHD cabrio (195/50 R15 H) on mostly town for 200 easy going miles
I fitted a pair of these to my smart fortwo rear wheels only, unfortunately kleber doesnt make 175/55/R15 yet, but as soon as they do i will probably buy a pair. the tyres worked just as good as my continental winter contacts fitted on my BMW, and perform just as good, quality grip in snow and ice and the cars DSC worked really well with the tyres. the car was pretty much undriveable with summer tyres fitted to the smart car in snowy conditions. a very good purchase for any rear wheel drive car.
