What tires does the Lexus ES use?
1 Answers
The Lexus ES uses Yokohama tires. The tire size for the 2.0L model is 215/55R17, and for the 2.5L model, it is 235/40R19. Yokohama Tire, founded in 1917 and formerly known as Yokohama Rubber, officially changed its name in China to Yokohama in 2008. It has developed tire design technology that reduces air resistance during vehicle operation. For the Lexus ES tires in daily use, pay attention to the following points: Regularly check the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallow. If the tread wears out, it will lose its drainage and anti-slip functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks can also pose a risk of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove any pebbles lodged in the grooves. Try to park on flat ground. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, do not turn the steering wheel, as this can accelerate tire wear. Do not splash water to cool the tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, increasing air pressure. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Avoid releasing air to reduce pressure or splashing water to cool the tires, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent use of brakes and hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear from dragging against the ground.
