finally decided on the rims im going to get and wanted to get your guys opinion on a tire package they will offer me. so for a 1000 they are going to give me lexani lx9 305/30/26... " they will be expertly mounted and balanced onto the wheels prior to shipment and arrive as a complete assembled package. they will also include the full hardware kit as well (lugnuts, wheel lock set, chrome valve stems, and hubrings) They will arrive ready to bolt on and drive." should i take it with a package or better off getting tires some where else

$250 a tire is pretty cheap for a 26... the tires on my Tahoe are $350 each an the set on my charger are 235/55r18 Michelin pilot's and they are $200 a pop.

so sounds like a good deal, but i have no idea how much u are paying for ur rims.

I've have them. I've never had a problem and they balanced fine. But I've heard horror stories about them...

Kinda of over priced , out here in the bayArea (California) , I just got them for 200 a tire 305/30/26 mounted and balanced 800 in total taxes included. As quality goes , I haven't gotten any issues or vibrations feels as good as the falcons (480 a pc. ) I had previous.

no. Any other/better brands will be more expensive.

Had 2 sets of Lexani tires and couldn't get them to balance also had 1 out of round tire in each set! I would fork out extra money and get a better tire or down size to 24's and get better tires. Just my opinion.

Sadly there isn't a in between tire , u either go cheap or expensive . As getting tires to balance well it's a risk with any 26" tire . A buddy of mine bought some pirelli tires and one was out of balances .. So the risk is there .

My tire guy told me that they have actually had more problems with the high end tires like pirelli vs the cheaper tires but it's almost luck finding a good tire and a shop willing to take the extra steps in order to balance it out.

It’s key they have the knowledge to calibrate their tire balance machine. If they regularly calibrate their machine, they have the skill set to balance a 2nd quality tire.

A crack tire installer is hard to find. Someone who regularly works on 30-35 series tires is even harder to find.
