Lexani LXUHP-207 Product Description

This listing is for new Lexani LXUHP-207 225/50R17XL 98W BSW Tires. Manufacturer part number: LXST2071750020.

The Lexani LXUHP-207 is a performance and ultra-high-performance (UHP) all-season tire for passenger cars, sport compacts, and SUVs, engineered for drivers seeking high-speed stability and sharp steering response at an accessible price point.

The core of its performance lies in a true unidirectional (directional) tread pattern. A solid continuous center rib maintains uninterrupted road contact for straight-line tracking stability and confident highway steering response. For wet traction, four wide longitudinal channels work alongside sweeping, V-shaped lateral grooves that actively pump standing water away from the contact patch to maximize hydroplaning resistance and shorten wet braking distances. The directional block geometry also ensures even force distribution under acceleration, cornering, and braking to resist the irregular heel-and-toe wear that often shortens the life of UHP tires.

If you are comparing it to the LX-Twenty, the difference lies in application: the LX-Twenty is tailored for oversized wheel fitments and ultra-aggressive stances, while the LXUHP-207 targets mainstream performance sedans and sport compacts used as daily drivers.

Two critical ownership details apply to this model:

1. Directional Mounting & Rotation: Because of its unidirectional design, each tire features a rotation arrow on the sidewall. They must be mounted facing forward and rotated strictly front-to-back on the same side of the vehicle to preserve water evacuation capabilities.

2. Winter & Warranty Limits: Check the specific treadwear warranty listed for your exact size, as coverage varies across retailers. As an all-season tire without 3PMSF severe snow certification, it manages cold pavement and light slush but is not a substitute for a true winter tire on ice.

Because low-profile performance tires wear rapidly at the inner shoulder when wheel alignment deviates, check alignment immediately upon installation and rotate every five thousand miles.

Best-suited for: Honda Civic Si, Honda Accord Sport, Nissan Altima, Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Focus, Mercedes-Benz E350, Subaru Impreza, Volkswagen Jetta.
