The effectiveness of snow tires is lost if the tread
wears down below 4 mm (0.16 in.).
If you have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks
deep enough to expose the fabric, or bulges
indicating internal damage, the tire should be
replaced.
If a tire often goes flat or cannot be properly repaired due
to the size or location of a cut or other damage, it should
be replaced. If you are not sure, consult with your Lexus
dealer.
If air loss occurs while driving, do not continue driving.
Driving even a short distance can damage a tire beyond
repair.
Any tires which are over 6 years old must be
checked by a qualified technician even if damage is
not obvious.
Tires deteriorate with age even if they have never or
seldom been used.
This applies also to the spare tire and tires stored for
future use.NOTICE
 When you purchase new tires, consult your
Lexus dealer. If you change from runflat tires
to standard tires, a spare tire should also be
equipped.
 When the tires must be repaired or replaced,
have them repaired or replaced by Lexus dealer
or authorized dealer. The tire pressure sensors
will be affected by the installation or removal of
tires.
 When the tires must be replaced, replace the
grommets for tire pressure sensors as well.
