TIRE AND WHEEL SYSTEM INSPECTION


  1. INSPECT TIRES


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

      Cold Tire Inflation Pressure (for Europe)
      Tire size

      Front

      kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)

      Rear

      kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
      285/60R18 116V

      240 (2.4, 35)

      230 (2.3, 33)*1

      240 (2.4, 35)

      230 (2.3, 33)*1
      285/50R20 112V

      240 (2.4, 35)

      230 (2.3, 33)*1

      240 (2.4, 35)

      230 (2.3, 33)*1

      260 (2.6, 38)*2

      *1: For Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Taiwan, Chile, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia and Belarus

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

      Rear

      kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
      285/60R18 116V 240 (2.4, 35) 240 (2.4, 35)
      Cold Tire Inflation Pressure (for Middle East and Australia)
      Tire size

      Front

      kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)

      Rear

      kPa (kgf/cm2, psi)
      285/60R18 116V 230 (2.3, 33) 230 (2.3, 33)
      285/50R20 112V 230 (2.3, 33)

      230 (2.3, 33)

      260 (2.6, 38)*

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

    2. A01ERLN

      Using a dial indicator, check the tire runout.

      Tire runout
      Vertical 3.0 mm (0.118 in.) or less
      Lateral 3.0 mm (0.118 in.) or less

  2. ROTATE TIRES


    1. A01ENOFE04
      Text in Illustration
      *a Front of the Vehicle

      Rotate the tires as shown in the illustration.

      Torque:
      131 N*m  { 1336 kgf*cm, 97 ft.*lbf }

  3. INSPECT WHEEL BALANCE


    1. A01EP7GE01

      Check and adjust the off-the-car balance.

      Tire Size Standard Imbalance After Adjustment
      285/60R18 7.0 g (0.0154 lb) or less
      285/50R20 6.5 g (0.0143 lb) or less

      Note


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

      • Do not touch the adhesive surface of the tape.

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

        Width (A)
        20 mm (0.787 in.)

      • Push the balance weight firmly so that it securely adheres to the position.

      • Do not reuse the balance weight.

      • Please use the LEXUS genuine sticking type balance weight.

      Tech Tips

      If necessary, check and adjust the on-the-car balance.
