That being said, based on my research when looking for a new set of tires for my old beater these seem like a good budget tire, especially if you live somewhere it doesn't snow.

The origin of the tire stamp, or DOT number, can be traced back to the 1970s when the US government became more involved in regulating car safety. The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act was established in 1966 in response to rising road accidents and public concern over vehicle safety. The DOT number was created to ensure that all tires sold in the US meet specific safety requirements.
The DOT number is a Tire Identification Number (TIN) that's molded into the sidewall of the tire. The TIN includes the following information:
Plant: The first three characters of the TIN indicate the plant code.
Tire size: The second grouping of characters identifies the tire size.
Manufacturer's date: The last four numbers indicate the week and year the tire was manufactured. For example, a tire with the number 2910 was manufactured in the 29th week of 2010.
The DOT symbol certifies that the tire manufacturer complies with the US Department of Transportation's safety standards.
And the diameter difference is only .3", its 26.7" for the 245's and 26.4" for the 235's. I think that's only about a 1.2% difference for your speed and odometer reading. At 100mph on your speedometer reading, you'll actually be going 101.2mph. And in general going a little taller usually helps the ride quality a bit too.

Is Lexani any good?
I can almost guarantee most chain tire shops are doing the bare minimum for a dismount/mount and balance. Meaning, I doubt they're carefully looking at the condition of the rim before they put the new tires on. I learned early on a lot of times they won't even scrape off mud, asphalt chunks or even old wheel weights before they re-balance them. I wish you luck finding a good tire shop, that you can trust.
