NOTICE
■Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the wheel
beyond repair.
■When stowing the flat tire
●Ensure that there is no object caught between the tire and the vehicle underbody.
●Vehicles with kinetic dynamic suspension: To avoid damaging the suspension sys-
tem, make sure that the spare tire does not interfere with the suspension compo-
nents when stowed.
■When replacing the tires
●When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter, contact your Lexus dealer as the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.
●Replace the grommets for the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters as
well.
■To avoid damaging the tire pressu re warning valves and transmitters
Do not use liquid sealants on flat tires.

kgf/cm2 or bar)
Driving at high speeds above 100 mph (160
km/h) (in countries where such speeds are per-
mitted by law) Add 9 psi (60 kPa, 0.6 kgf/cm

Tire ply composition and materials
Plies are layers of rubber-coated parallel cords. Cords are the strands
which form the plies in a tire.
Radial tires or bias-ply tires
A radial tire has RADIAL on the sidewall. A tire not marked RADIAL is a
bias-ply tire.
TUBELESS or TUBE TYPE
A tubeless tire does not have a tube an d air is directly filled in the tire. A
tube type tire has a tube inside the ti re and the tube maintains the air pres-
sure.
Load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure ( P. 395)
