What is the normal tire pressure range for Lexus?
2 Answers
The reasonable tire pressure range for Lexus is approximately 2.2-2.5 bar. Excessive tire pressure will reduce the friction and adhesion of the tires, affecting braking performance and tire lifespan. Insufficient tire pressure can lead to increased fuel consumption, heavier steering, a tendency to veer off course, and may also cause damage and abnormal wear to the tire bead area, as well as a decrease in tire strength. Standard tire pressure: The standard tire pressure ranges between 2.2-2.5 bar, and it may vary depending on the brand and model of the vehicle. Tire pressure: Strictly speaking, it refers to the air pressure inside the tire. There is a label with the standard tire pressure information on the rear of the driver's side door, which indicates the pressure when the tire is cold.
I remember when I was driving my dad's Lexus ES350, there was a small label on the door frame indicating the normal tire pressure range was 32 to 35 PSI, depending on the tire model and load conditions. The dealership staff specifically reminded us when we bought the car that in summer, tires are prone to heat expansion, so it's advisable to reduce the pressure to around 31 PSI to avoid bulging. In winter, it should be increased to 34 PSI to maintain grip, otherwise fuel consumption would rise significantly. Once, before a long trip, I didn't check the tire pressure, and it dropped to 28 PSI before the dashboard warning light came on, almost leading to a flat or blowout. Since then, I've manually checked the tire pressure with a small gauge every month, saving hundreds in repair costs. Overall, just refer to the door label and don't slack off.
