What Tires Fit My Lexus RX?

Your Lexus RX is a sporty and fun-to-drive SUV, ready for any adventure. You want to make sure it carries tires that fit. When it comes time to get new tires, what should you be looking for as far as RX tire size?

Type A tires:

• 235/65R18 106V

Type B tires:

• 235/55R20 102V

You might be trying to figure out what these numbers mean. We’re glad you asked. The first number in the sequences above is “235.” That’s the width of the tire, measured in millimeters from sidewall to sidewall. The “65R18” provides info about the aspect ratio, construction, and wheel diameter. The “R” designation means the tire features radial construction, while the “18” and “20” numbers above refer to the wheel diameter.

To ensure your tires provide the best possible performance, keep the tire pressure steady. Both type A and type B tires should be set to 33 pound-force per square inch (psi).

When Do I Replace My Car’s Tires?

It’s important to replace tires when required, because you don’t want to drive with underinflated or aging tires that can’t keep pace. Tires should be replaced at our service center if the treadwear indicators have shown on the tire, or if there is tire damage like cuts, splits, or cracks deep enough to expose the fabric of the tire. If a tire continues losing air or cannot be repaired due to a cut or other damage, then it’s time to replace the tires.

Any tire that’s over six years old must be inspected by a qualified technician, even if you don’t drive your car often or there’s no visible damage.

Taking Care of Your Tires

Now that you have learned a bit about Lexus RX tire size, it’s time to move on to another important topic—taking care of the tires you have. Be sure to stay up to date with all tire rotations, as this can lengthen the life of your tires. A tire rotation ensures even wear on all tires.

Your RX is also equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system. This system lets you know which tire may be low on air. Have your air compressor on hand or visit your local gas station to fill the tires to the proper pressure.

If you have hit a pothole or a slow leak seems to be preventing your tires from running at full speed, let us know by scheduling an appointment on our website or stopping by the dealership.
