Maximum load of tire
Check that the number given by dividing the maximum load by 1.10 of the replace-
ment tire is greater than 1/2 of the Gr oss Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either
the front axle or the rear axle, whichever is greater.
■
Tire types
1 Summer tires
Summer tires are high-speed performance tires best suited to highway driving
under dry conditions. Since summer tires do not have the same traction perfor-
mance as snow tires, summer tires are inadequate for driving on snow-covered
or icy roads. For driving on snow-cover ed roads or icy roads, the use of snow
tires is recommended. When inst alling snow tires, be sure to replace all four tires.
2 All season tires
All season tires are designed to provide better traction in snow and to be ade-
quate for driving in most winter conditions, as well as for use year round. All sea-
son tires, however, do not have adequa te traction performance compared with
snow tires in heavy or loose snow. Also, all season tires fall short in acceleration
and handling performance compared with summer tires in highway driving.
3Snow tires
For driving on snow-covered roads or icy roads, we recommend using snow
tires. If you need snow tires, select ti res of the same size, construction and load
capacity as the originally installed tires. Si nce your vehicle has radial tires as orig-
inal equipment, make sure your snow tire s also have radial construction. Do not
install studded tires without first checking local regulations for possible restric-
tion. Snow tires should be installed on all wheels. (  P. 376)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.

Maintenance and care
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) ■
Tire inflation pressure check interval
You should check tire inflation pressure every two weeks, or at least once a month.
Do not forget to check the spare. ■
Effects of incorrect ti re inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pressure may result in the following:●
Reduced fuel efficiency ●
Reduced driving comfort and tire life ●
Reduced safety ●
Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by your Lexus dealer. ■
Instructions for checking tire inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following: ●
Check only when the tires are cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven for
more than 1 mile or 1.5 km, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure
reading. ●
Always use a tire pressure gauge.
The appearance of the tire can be misleading. In addition, tire inflation pressure
that is even just a few pounds off can affect ride quality and handling.●
Do not reduce tire inflation pressure afte r driving. It is normal for tire inflation
pressure to be higher after driving. ●
Never exceed the vehicle capacity weight.
Passengers and luggage weight should be placed so that the vehicle is bal-
anced.

Maintenance and care
LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Wheels If a wheel is bent, cracked or heavil y corroded, it should be replaced.
Otherwise, the tire may separate from the wheel or cause loss of handling
control.
■ Wheel selection
When replacing wheels, care shoul d be taken to ensure that they
are equivalent to those removed in load capacity, diameter, rim
width, and inset
* .
Replacement wheels are available at your Lexus dealer.
* : Conventionally referr ed to as “offset”.
Lexus does not recommend using:
● Wheels of different sizes or types
● Used wheels
● Bent wheels that have been straightened
■ Aluminum wheel precautions
● Use only Lexus wheel nuts and wrenches designed for use with
your aluminum wheels.
● When rotating, repairing or chan ging your tires, check that the
wheel nuts are still tight after driving 1000 miles (1600 km).
● Be careful not to damage the aluminum wheels when using tire
chains.
● Use only Lexus genuine balanc e weights or equivalent and a
plastic or rubber hammer when balancing your wheels.

LX570_OM_OM60L96U_(U) Warning: The temperature grades of a tire assume that it is properly inflated
and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or exce ssive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat bu ildup and possible tire failure.
