TIRE AND WHEEL SYSTEM INSPECTION

PROCEDURE

1. INSPECT TIRES

   
   

   1. Inspect the tires for wear and proper inflation pressure.

      Specified Pressure (When Tire is Cool) (for Korea)
      Tire Size Front kPa (kgf/cm2, psi) Rear kPa (kgf/cm2, psi) 245/45RF20 99Y 300 (3.0, 44)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*2 - 275/40RF20 102Y - 300 (3.0, 44)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*2 245/40RF21 96Y 300 (3.0, 44)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*2 - 275/35RF21 99Y - 300 (3.0, 44)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*2

      *1: For driving at over 220 km/h (137 mph)

      *2: For driving at under 220 km/h (137 mph)

      Specified Pressure (When Tire is Cool) (for Europe)
      Tire Size Front kPa (kgf/cm2, psi) Rear kPa (kgf/cm2, psi) 245/45RF20 99Y 300 (3.0, 44)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*2 300 (3.0, 44)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*2 275/40RF20 102Y - 300 (3.0, 44)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*2 245/40RF21 96Y 300 (3.0, 44)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*2 - 275/35RF21 99Y - 300 (3.0, 44)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*2

      *1: For driving at over 220 km/h (137 mph)

      *2: For driving at under 220 km/h (137 mph)

      Specified Pressure (When Tire is Cool) (for Australia, Middle East and General Export)
      Tire Size Front kPa (kgf/cm2, psi) Rear kPa (kgf/cm2, psi) 245/45RF20 99Y 300 (3.0, 44)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*2 - 275/40RF20 102Y - 300 (3.0, 44)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*2 245/40RF21 96Y 300 (3.0, 44)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*2 - 275/35RF21 99Y - 300 (3.0, 44)*1 230 (2.3, 33)*2

      *1: For driving at over 220 km/h (137 mph)

      *2: For driving at under 220 km/h (137 mph)

      
      

      1. Tire pressure adjustment method when warm:

         
         

         1. Turn the engine switch off.

         2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

         3. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

         4. Turn the GTS on.

         5. Enter the following menus: Chassis / Tire Pressure Monitor / Data List.

         6. Adjust the tire pressure so that the displayed value is equal to the set pressure.

         7. Perform initialization and check that initialization completes.

         8. Check and record the value of the Data List item "Temperature in Tire". (Ts)

         9. Check and record the ambient temperature during tire pressure adjustment. (Tm)

         10. Readjust the tire pressure according to the difference between the tire internal temperature (Ts) and the ambient temperature (Tm). (P)

             Tech Tips

             Tire internal temperature: Ts, Ambient temperature: Tm, Tire pressure readjustment value: P

             P = (Specified Pressure) + (Ts - Tm)

         11. Check the pressure adjustment value with the Data List item "Tire Inflation Pressure".

         
         Chassis > Tire Pressure Monitor > Data List

         Tester Display
         ID 1 Tire Inflation Pressure
         ID 2 Tire Inflation Pressure
         ID 3 Tire Inflation Pressure
         ID 4 Tire Inflation Pressure

         Note

         Check the tire pressure warning system for the relationship between the inflation pressure and tire pressure warning pressure.

   2. 

      Using a dial indicator, check the runout of the tires.

      Maximum Tire Runout
      1.0 mm (0.0394 in.)

      Tech Tips

      Remove the wheel assembly from the vehicle, and measure the wheel assembly alone.

2. ROTATE TIRES

   
   

   1. Remove the wheel assembly.

   2. 

      Front

      When the size of the front and rear tires are the same, rotate the tires as shown in the illustration (A). When the size of the front and rear tires are not the same, rotate the tires as shown in the illustration (B).

   3. Install the wheel assembly.

      Tech Tips

      When a tire rotation is performed on a vehicle that has different specified tire pressures for the front and rear of the vehicle, it is necessary to perform initialization for the tire pressure warning system.

3. INSPECT AND ADJUST WHEEL BALANCE

   
   
   1. 

      *a	25 mm (0.984 in.)

      Inspect and adjust the off-the-car balance.

      Maximum Imbalance
      8.0 g (0.0176 lb)

      Note

      
      

      • Use a cleaning detergent to remove dirt, oil and water from the surface where the balance weight is to be adhered.

      • Do not touch the adhesive surface of the balance weight.

      • Adhere a stick-on type balance weight to the flat surface*a shown in the illustration.

      • Push the balance weight with your finger to securely adhere it to the desired position.

      • Do not reuse balance weights.

      • Please use the LEXUS genuine sticking type balance weight.

      Tech Tips

      
      

      • Use stick-on type balance weights for both the inner and outer side.

      • If the tires vibrate even after off-the-car balance adjustment, adjust the wheel balance with on-the-car balancing as necessary.
