      225/65R17 102H 240 (2.4, 35) 240 (2.4, 35)
      225/60R18 100H

      220 (2.2, 32)*1

      270 (2.7, 39)*2

      220 (2.2, 32)*1

      220 (2.2, 32)*1

      270 (2.7, 39)*2

      *1: For driving at under 160 km/h (100 mph)

      *2: For driving at over 160 km/h (100 mph)

      Specified Pressure (When Tire is Cool) (for Compact Spare Tire)
      Tire Size

      kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
      T165/80D17 104M 420 (4.2, 60)

      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: PP = (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 description for the relationship between the inflation pressure and tire pressure warning pressure.

    2. B0058O9

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

      Tire runout
      1.4 mm (0.0551 in.) or less

      Tech Tips

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

  2. ROTATE TIRES


    1. Remove the wheel assembly.

    2. B0058U5C01
      *a Front of the Vehicle
      *b Vehicle Wheels and Spare Tire Wheel are Same Type
      *c Vehicle Wheels and Spare Tire Wheel are Not Same Type, or There is No Spare Tire

      Rotate the tires as shown in the illustration.

    3. Install the wheel assembly.

  3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE


    1. B0059BDN01

      Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.

      Maximum imbalance after adjustment
      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 sticking surface of the tape.

      • Adhere a sticking type balance weight to the flat surface (A) shown in the illustration.

        Width (A)
        25 mm (0.984 in.)

      • Push the balance weight firmly to adhere it to the position.

      • Do not reuse the balance weight.

      • Please use the LEXUS genuine sticking type balance weight.

      Tech Tips


      • The inner side balance weights should be installed by clipping them to the rim.

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