Lexani LXUHP-207 245/45ZR18 100W XL All Season Performance Tire

2017 Kia Soul! 1.6T This is only an initial impression, as the tires were just installed today, after a two week fiasco in which I've decided to make an effort to never use FedEx again. Such an incompetent company. Anyway, to the tires. My initial impression, at speeds up to about 50 mph, is that they are smoother, quieter, and considerably grippier than the mediocre OEM Nexen CP671 tires they replaced. They have very good response and bite at initial turn-in and very linear grip and response throughout the turn. They have a very nicely refined feel and ride. I can not speak to wet traction or how they ride on the highway yet, or longevity, but I will update this review after I put some miles on them and experience a wider range of driving conditions. But for the price of these tires and the apparent quality that my initial impression suggests, you can't go wrong with them and I definitely recommend them as a great budget alternative to the overpriced big-name brands. *Update*- I have now had several opportunities to drive in the rain, including one torrential downpour. These tires have far better wet traction than the OEM tires that I replaced, in fact they don't seem to lose any significant amount of grip compared to dry pavement. And no hint of hydroplaning up to about 50 mph in rain so hard you can barely see to drive. I'm liking these tires more and more. *2cnd edit* At my first the rotation at 5000 miles, the tires have lost 2/32 on the fronts and 1/32 on the rears. At this wear rate I should get 20k miles or a little more before they need replacing. I consider this to be very adequate for UHP tires. Also, having now taken several long highway trips, a pleasant surprise was that my fuel mileage actually increased by about 2 miles per gallon. Again, I don't think you'll be disappointed with these tires.

Tires were shipped promptly. Good traction, I’ve had them for a few months now and drive daily with no issues. Quiet and ride smooth. Tread is wearing evenly and performing well in wet/dry weather conditions

Considering I’ve owned a garbage company and a water company, plus have many rental properties, I have had countless tires. I have brands I like and I have brands I love. Texans tires are tires I love! Let me tell you why. Lexani tires have good treading allowing for dependable grip as well as safe handling in all weather circumstances. I live in rural Louisiana, so crap on the road like screws, sharp pebbles, broken glass, and other trash seem to not have the effect of causing flats near as often as other brands. As a matter of fact, since I began using this tire brand three years ago, I haven’t had a single incident involving me repairing a tire! No flats. No chunks coming out or tearing away, not a single pin hole or leak at all. These tires have held the road and their integrity to date. You can pay the extra money for a name like Goodyear or Yokohama, or you can buy a quality tire for a very good price while knowing you’ve got a safe and dependable set of tires on the road. I Personally give these tires a 10 of 10 rating for quality, safety, and dependability! If you buy Lexani brand tires you will find out what i mean by “Lexani brand tires are a damn good tire!”

Ok I wanted to put these to the test before reviewing. First two pictures were from 12/30/23. The last 3 are from 4/18/25. Thats almost a year and a half, appx 15k miles. They ride great for the price, quiet and perform pretty decent. All these people saying they don't last either need an alignment or have an extremely heavy foot. I'm not easy on these tires. I've tracked my car a few times since I've had them. Even hit 120+mph at one point on the track. That being said they are a budget tire. Id give 5 stars but I've always had a small shake at around 50mph since I've put these wheels and tires on so it could be the wheels. 9/10 Will probably buy them again.

Very quiet and comfortable tire. The ride quality is smooth and they handle great on the highway. I was especially impressed with the wet traction — the car feels planted and confident even in heavy rain. For the price, these tires are an amazing value. Definitely a 5-star purchase and I would buy them again.
