GX460_OM_OM60T19U_(U)6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Tires
Check if the treadwear indicators are showing on the tires. Also check the tires
for uneven wear, such as excessive
wear on one side of the tread.
Check the spare tire condition and pressure if not rotated.
New tread
Worn tread
Treadwear indicator
The location of treadwear indicators is shown by a “TWI” or “ ” mark, etc., molded
into the sidewall of each tire.
Replace the tires if the treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.
Rotate the tires in the order shown.
To equalize tire wear and extend tire life,
Lexus recommends that tire rotation is
carried out at the same interval as tire
inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pressure
warning system after tire rotation.
Replace or rotate tires in accordance with maintenance schedules and tread-
wear.
