Never heard of tnem, but...
Does the brand have ISO rating, UL/CSA certified?
How long have they been making tyres?
What was their R&D budget last year?
Have their Tyres been used in the auto race circuits?
In this life, u only get what u pay for, & sometimes (more common these days) Not even when u pay.
So, if u r driving ur mother back from church on Sunday with ur kids in the back seat down the interstate @ 100, to pass a line of semis in 100 degree heat, do u feel safe??
Well if u do, buy it & try it out.

Tyres are one of the most important component of the vehicle, so I wouldn't chance it. It's true, you do get what you pay for. I would replace stock with stock, or better. It's a fraction of the price of the X6, and not something I would go cheap on.

I'm replacing the stock run-flats with the Continental 4x4 SportContact this week, as this will improve the ride, handling, and tyre noise.

lots of tried and tested brands out there and Lexani is not one of them....go for Yokos, Toyos are good and so are Falkens, Hankooks etc amoung the cheap brands...the best would def be Dunlop Sport Maxx ,Pirellis, Michelins and may be even Bridgestones ;-)
