Lexani tires
Saw some Lexani tires for sale on a website. Brand new, set of 4 being sold from a tire store for 400 bucks. Anyone have any experience with their tires?

Lexani is a 20 year old Wheel company that started selling tires more recently. I think they have their tires made for them by Korea's Nexen Tire.

Even 12 months ownership my friend - be safe, not sorry. The 4 contact points are what keep you on the road. My point was buy premium or midrange tyres, but not el cheapo ones that may lose grip in a moment of need :-)

As has been said - tyres are THE single most important part of any vehicle anyone with a passing interest in F1 would know that. Cheap tyres may well be fine - but given the level of discussion on tyres generally the sound advice would be go for something you know - and have some comeback on if you need too.
A quick look at the only supplier website in UK shows that they are not recommended by BMW - so avoid.

despite the fact this thread is from 2016, lexani is not new. Got lexani on my car in 2005, and I can't tell if back then it was new or not.
Ive use lexani on track only, N3000 were very very cheap, and the performance for a heavy car on a hot track day was very impressive. Also the treadwear was great. On the internet I only saw bad stuff about those tire from NON-user, and quiet nice review from users. I saw few 911 with N3000... yes those are considering like cheap ass tires, but if they pass the securuty test it shouldn't be that bad. right? This has been said, lexani performance tire are not a thing anymore, n3000 are discontinued, and I have enough budget now to get some real tires. x3 is on extreme contact DWS06 and summer/track on indy500. |
