When to replace your vehicle’s tires

Tires should be replaced if:

●

The treadwear indicators are showing on

a tire.

●

You have tire damage such as cuts, splits,

cracks deep enough to expose the fabric,

and bulges indicating internal damage

●

A tire goes flat repeatedly or cannot be

properly repaired due to the size or loca-

tion of a cut or other damage

If you are not sure, consult your Lexus

dealer.

■

Tire life

Any tire over 6 years old must be checked

by a qualified technician even if it has sel-

dom or never been used or damage is not

obvious.

■

Low profile tires (21-inch tires)

Generally, low profile tires will wear more

rapidly and tire grip performance will be

reduced on snowy and/or icy roads when

compared to standard tires. Be sure to use

snow tires on snowy and/or icy roads and

drive carefully at a speed appropriate for

road and weather conditions.

■

Maximum load of tire

Check that the maximum load of the

replacement tire is greater than 1/2 of the

Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of

either the front axle or the rear axle, which-

ever is greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification Label.

For the maximum load of the tire, see the

load limit at maximum cold tire inflation

pressure mentioned on the sidewall of the

tire. (

P.383)

■

Tire types

●

Summer tires

Summer tires are high-speed perfor-

mance tires best suited to highway driv-

ing under dry conditions. Since summer

tires do not have the same traction per-

formance as snow tires, summer tires are

inadequate for driving on snow-covered

or icy roads. For driving on snow-covered

roads or icy roads, the use of snow tires is

recommended. When installing snow

tires, be sure to replace all four tires.

●

All season tires

All season tires are designed to provide

better traction in snow and to be ade-

quate for driving in most winter condi-

tions as well as for use year-round. All

season tires, however, do not have ade-

quate traction performance compared

with snow tires in heavy or loose snow.

Also, all season tires fall short in accelera-

tion and handling performance com-

pared with summer tires in highway

driving.

●

Snow tires

For driving on snow-covered roads or icy

roads, we recommend using snow tires. If

you need snow tires, select tires of the

same size, construction and load capacity

as the originally installed tires. Since your

vehicle has radial tires as original equip-

ment, make sure your snow tires also

have radial construction. Do not install

studded tires without first checking local

regulations for possible restrictions.

Snow tires should be installed on all

wheels. (

P.238)

■

If the tread on snow tires wears down

below 0.16 in. (4 mm)

The effectiveness of the tires as snow tires is

lost.

WARNING

■

When inspecting or replacing tires

Observe the following precautions to

prevent accidents.

Failure to do so may cause damage to

parts of the drivetrain as well as danger-

ous handling characteristics, which may

lead to an accident resulting in death or

serious injury.

Tires cannot be rotated.

When run-flat tires are installed, the
vehicle can be driven for a maximum of
100 miles (160 km) at a speed below
50 mph (80 km/h) after any tire goes
flat. (However, the vehicle speed may
not increase to near 50 mph [80
km/h] depending on weather or driv-
ing conditions.)

A run-flat tire has a

mark on

the sidewall.

Make sure to replace the flat tire before the
vehicle has been driven for near 100 miles
(160 km). Also, do not use a repaired tire.

■

Run-flat tires

●

The run-flat tires are for only this vehicle.

Do not use the tires on other vehicles.

●

Do not mix run-flat tires and normal tires.

●

If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used, it

may be impossible to sufficiently demon-

strate the performance of run-flat tires.

Your vehicle is equipped with a tire
pressure warning system that uses tire
pressure warning valves and transmit-
ters to detect low tire inflation pressure
before serious problems arise.
 If the tire pressure drops below a

predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a screen display and a
warning light. (

P.340)

 The tire pressure detected by the

WARNING

●

Do not mix tires of different makes,

models or tread patterns.

Also, do not mix tires of remarkably

different treadwear.

●

Do not use tire sizes other than those

recommended by Lexus.

●

Do not mix differently constructed

tires (radial, bias-belted or bias-ply

tires).

●

Do not mix summer, all season and

snow tires.

●

Do not use tires that have been used

on another vehicle.

Do not use tires if you do not know

how they were used previously.

NOTICE

■

Driving on rough roads

Take particular care when driving on

roads with loose surfaces or potholes.

These conditions may cause losses in tire

inflation pressure, reducing the cushion-

ing ability of the tires. In addition, driving

on rough roads may cause damage to

the tires themselves, as well as the vehi-

cle’s wheels and body.

■

Low profile tires (21-inch tires)

Low profile tires may cause greater dam-

age than usual to the tire wheel when

sustaining impact from the road surface.

Therefore, pay attention to the following:

●

Be sure to use proper tire inflation

pressure. If tires are under-inflated,

they may be damaged more severely.

●

Avoid potholes, uneven pavement,

curbs and other road hazards. Failure

to do so may lead to severe tire and

wheel damage.

■

If tire inflation pressure of each tire

becomes low while driving

Do not continue driving, or your tires

and/or wheels may be ruined.

Situations in which the tire pressure

warning system may not operate prop-

erly

●

In the following cases, the tire pressure

warning system may not operate prop-

erly.

• If non-genuine Lexus wheels are used.

• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is

not an OE (Original Equipment) tire.

• A tire has been replaced with a tire that is

not of the specified size.

• Tire chains etc. are equipped.

• An auxiliary-supported run-flat tire is

equipped.

• If a window tint that affects the radio wave

signals is installed.

• If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehi-

cle, particularly around the wheels or

wheel housings.

• If the tire inflation pressure is extremely

higher than the specified level.

• If wheel without tire pressure warning

valves and transmitters are used.

• If the ID code on the tire pressure warn-

ing valves and transmitters is not regis-

tered in the tire pressure warning

computer.

●

Performance may be affected in the fol-

lowing situations.

• Near a TV tower, electric power plant,

gas station, radio station, large display,

airport or other facility that generates

strong radio waves or electrical noise

• When carrying a portable radio, cellular

phone, cordless phone or other wireless

communication device

If tire position information is not correctly
displayed due to the radio wave conditions,
the display may be corrected by driving and
changing the radio wave conditions.

●

When the vehicle is parked, the time

taken for the warning to start or go off

could be extended.

●

When tire inflation pressure declines rap-

idly for example when a tire has burst, the

warning may not function.

The initialization operation

●

Make sure to carry out initialization after

adjusting the tire inflation pressure.

Also, make sure the tires are cold before

carrying out initialization or tire inflation

pressure adjustment.

●

If you have accidentally turned the engine

switch <power switch> off during initial-

ization, it is not necessary to manually

restart the initialization again, as initializa-

tion will restart automatically the next

time the engine switch <power switch> is

turned to IGNITION ON mode <ON

mode>.

●

If you accidentally perform initialization

when initialization is not necessary, adjust

the tire inflation pressure to the specified

level when the tires are cold, and conduct

initialization again.

●

While the position of each tire is being

determined and the inflation pressures

are not being displayed on the multi-

information display, if the inflation pres-

sure of a tire drops, the tire pressure

warning light will come on.

■

When initialization of the tire pressure

warning system has failed

Initialization may take longer to complete if

the vehicle is driven on an unpaved road.

When performing initialization, drive on a

paved road if possible. Depending on the

driving environment and condition of the

tires, initialization will be completed in

approximately 10 to 30 minutes. If initializa-

tion is not complete after driving approxi-

mately 10 to 30 minutes, continue driving

for a while. If the inflation of each tire is not

displayed after driving for approximately 1

hour, perform the following procedure.

●

Park the vehicle in a safe place for

approximately 20 minutes. Then drive

straight (with occasional left and right

turns) at approximately 25 mph (40

km/h) or more for approximately 10 to

30 minutes.

However, in the following situations, the tire
inflation pressure will not be recorded and
the system will not operate properly. Per-
form initialization again.

●

When performing initialization, the tire

pressure warning light does not blink 3

times. (Initialization will not occur while

driving)

●

After performing initialization, the tire

pressure warning light blinks for 1 minute

then stays on after driving for about 20

minutes.

If the inflation pressure of each tire is still not
displayed, have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer.

N•m, 14.3 kgf•m) soon as possible

after changing wheels.

●

Do not attach a heavily damaged

wheel ornament, as it may fly off the

wheel while the vehicle is moving.

●

When installing a tire, only use wheel

nuts that have been specifically

designed for that wheel.

●

If there are any cracks or deformations

in the bolt screws, nut threads or bolt

holes of the wheel, have the vehicle

inspected by your Lexus dealer.

■

After using the tools

Before driving, make sure all the tools are

stored securely in place. Failure to do so

may cause injury in case of a collision or

sudden braking.
