So since I can't find a dedicated thread on this can we speak on it a while.
There are several Chinese brand tires in 26" for our trucks
Safiro
Delinte
Winrun
Lionhart
Lexani
Ect...

Then you have the nittos and Pirelli.

I would like to ask everyone what experience good or bad they have had with each brand.

As we all pretty much use our trucks to haul around our family's I think it's worth talking about the one thing between us and the road.

I wish I could afford pirelli's out the gate but I would open to running a Chinese tire if it had good recommendations.

I've had kuhmo, bfg, and now Lexani. I've had ZERO issues with my Lexani's and would buy them again and will buy them again when needed.

Sometimes I would stay away from real generic since it is precious lives riding 80mph (or so) on them, but I have a friend at a rim/tire shop that has sold so many Lexani tires that he said he 100% feels comfortable selling them knowing they are a good enough tire

I run the Delinte on mine. No issues at all, and they are a great price compared to the big name brands!

Since I have gone threw 3 sets of 26's already. I will chime in. On my first set of 6's, I had the 420's. I had them on for maybe 2 years and they lasted until last summer on my other set of 6's. But then with plenty of tread on them I blew out the side walls on 3 of the 4 tires. So decided to go cheaper. I had Carbon Series tires on until I sold the rims. They were ok but had road noise and couldn't get them balanced just right. But worked. Now with the new rims I have Lexani tires on them. I haven't had a chance to drive on them yet as I put them on then took them off because of the snow we got on monday. But what I have liked with the last two tires is having the XL for the load. The 420's didn't have that. Also def go with 295.. I just did that and big difference in clearance.

Not sure if there is a big difference in 24"/26" tires but I currently have wanli on my 24's. They have held up well for 3 years but the road noise is getting bad. Didnt start until the second year. Still have a lot of tread left, but thinking about getting rid of them after this year the noise is that bad. Hope that helps!
