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.

Is Lexani any good?
Why would you spend $40k on your Tesla and the cheap out on what keeps it connected to the road?
2018 Prius Prime with OEM Dunlop Enasave 01 A/S. The OEM eco focused tired are light but seem to be made of paper... with lots of horror story of flats.
Both Kumho and Goodyear are ~3lbs heavier (19lb vs 16) than OEM but these are 91V & 91H vs OEM 89S, UTQG of 500AA & 600AA vs 540AB.
My guess is that these Kumho LX Platinum KU27's are the same as the Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum's. Check out Tire Rack reviews: https://www.tirerack.co
Wet traction = 8.1 (Good)
Dry traction = 8.6 (Excellent)
Winter/Snow = 6.2 (Fair)
Comfort = 8.4 (Good)
Treadwear = 8.1 (Good)

With that being said, these Walmart Kumho's are essentially the discontinued Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum's, which are pretty decent tires.
TireRack rating: Wet traction = 8.1 (Good)

The Kumho (escta) LX platinum only have 50k warranty and are a Walmart exclusive.
The Kumho Solus line have a 60 -75k mile warranty
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.
Continue using it or get this single tire from OP? Considering other three tires gonna be different brand
