What brand are the tires on the Lexus ES?

[DeHazel]

The new Lexus ES comes equipped with Yokohama DB series tires, also known as Yokohama. Tires are one of the most important components of a vehicle, primarily responsible for supporting the vehicle's entire weight, bearing the load, and transmitting forces and moments in other directions. Here is more information about automotive tires: 1. Automotive tires are crucial components that directly contact the road surface, working in conjunction with the vehicle's suspension to absorb shocks during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smoothness. They also maintain strong adhesion between the wheels and the road, improving traction, braking, and off-road capability. As tires bear the vehicle's weight, their importance is increasingly recognized. 2. To avoid abnormal wear, consider the following precautions: a. Monitor tire pressure: Pressure is critical to tire life. Both overinflation and underinflation shorten lifespan. Underinflation increases tire deformation, leading to sidewall cracks, excessive flexing, overheating, rubber aging, and ply fatigue. It also enlarges the contact area, accelerating shoulder wear. Overinflation overstretches the tire cords, reducing elasticity and increasing load during driving, which may cause internal cracks or blowouts. It also accelerates tread wear and reduces puncture resistance. b. Regularly check front-wheel alignment: Alignment significantly affects tire life, with toe-in and camber being key factors. Incorrect camber accelerates shoulder wear, while improper toe-in causes uneven inner or outer tread wear. c. Adjust driving habits: Avoid sharp objects like stones, glass, or metal that may puncture or cut tires. Steer clear of chemical spills that could adhere to and corrode tires. On highly cambered roads, drive centrally to prevent uneven wear from excessive one-sided load. Overloading by 20% reduces tire life by 30%, and by 40% cuts it by 50%. Additionally, sharp turns, hard braking, rapid starts, and sudden acceleration negatively impact tire durability.
