TIRE POSITIONING BEFORE NEW
VEHICLE DELIVERY
Models:
'05 ± '06 All Lexus
Technical Service
Information Bulletin
March 2, 2005
PG002-05
During the manufacturing process, tire characteristics are measured. Tires are then
mounted on the vehicle as matched sets to help reduce conditions such as pulling or
drifting. If the wheels are replaced or refinished before vehicle delivery, it is important
that the tires remain on the vehicle in the same location and in the same direction
of rotation.
Please refer to the following procedure to ensure that the original tires stay in the same
location on the vehicle.
All 2005 ± 2006 model year Lexus vehicles.
1. Mark the tire installation position on the inward facing tire sidewall.
Example: Front Right = FR, Front Left = FL, Rear Right = RR, Rear Left = RL
2. Install the original tires on the new or refinished wheels with the marked side
facing inwards.
3. Place the tire/wheel assemblies on the vehicle in the marked positions.
NOTE:
Torque the wheel nuts to the proper torque value in sequence.
