I’m getting some 24’s for my new tow rig and one of the tire options is made by Lexani. The tires are less expensive than anything else I’ve seen so I’m curious if they’re any good.

Has anyone tried them yet?

My sentiments exactly.
I dunno if I’d want to tow with 24s.

But f I did, it wouldn’t be with Donk-brand tires [emoji106]

I don't know anything about Lexani tires but I have had a set of Lexani 22 in wheels that are now almost 15 years old.

I bought them for a Navigator we owned years ago and took them off and installed them on a new Navigator we bought a while back. I have towed my boats and motor cycles for years with no problems at all.

I did not realize they were making tires now.

Most off-brand tires are produced at one of only a few factories worldwide. Brand name(and tread patterns) is the biggest difference in most cases.

Talking strictly about wheels:
I just like more sidewall.
Not a fan of factory 20-22s.
They're heavy, and don't ride all that well IMHO.

The one good thing that larger wheels allow, is much larger brakes.
And that's always a good thing.

But I'm the guy who ran 17s on my 4x4 tow rig and even resisted 18s, so what do I know :p


As far as tires go:
Looks like Lexani tires are a Nexen Tire sub-brand, made in Korea.
Nexens are decent but I wouldn't put them in the same league as a top-tier company like Bridgestone, Michelin, Toyo or Nitto.
They're more of a value tire, and Lexani is a value (cheaper) sub-brand of an already value brand.
IMHO that equates to a third-tier tire, which I personally wouldn't run on a tow vehicle.

My lexanis on my truck we're trash after 2 years and only 15k miles. They started cracking like crazy around the tread. I stay away

Had Lexanis on my Rover Sport. They wore out quick. Id look at another reputable brand.

This. Lexani doesn’t “make” tires.
