2018 Lexus LS 500 Tires in Roswell, GA

Many owners have tire service performed alongside an oil change or at each service visit, but the manufacturer’s schedule settles the interval for this vehicle. An inspection may also be useful when wear changes between positions or the vehicle develops highway-speed vibration.

• Rotate the wheels and tires every 5,000 miles.
• Have all four tires checked for uneven tread wear.
• Request an inspection if vibration appears at highway speed.

The inspection compares wear across the complete set rather than focusing on one corner. The rotation pattern follows the manufacturer’s direction for the vehicle and the tires fitted. A recommendation for rotation or replacement is based on what the inspection finds.

• Four-tire tread-depth measurement.
• Rotation following the specified drivetrain-related pattern.
• Placard-pressure adjustment and monitoring-system reset.

The exact pattern should follow the manufacturer’s specification and the tire setup found during service. Directional tread can limit how a tire moves between sides, while staggered fitments can change which positions are suitable. For that reason, the fitted tires and vehicle configuration should be checked before rotation.

• This vehicle has rear-wheel drive.
• Directional tread can change the allowable movement.
• Staggered fitments can change the rotation procedure.

Two-wheel-drive vehicles do not automatically require replacement of all four tires at once. The service decision depends on tread wear, condition, and how closely the remaining tires match the replacement. An inspection can identify uneven wear, damage, or a tread-wear indicator that has reached the tread.

• Check tread depth across all four tires.
• Compare wear between front and rear positions.
• Base replacement advice on the fitted tires and inspection.

A failed penny test is another general warning sign that the tread may be too worn for continued use. Tire service measures all four tires and can identify differences that are difficult to see from the driver’s seat. Damage or the tire’s actual condition may also affect the recommendation.

• Look for uneven wear across the tread.
• Pay attention to vibration at highway speed.
• Check whether the molded tread indicator is level with the tread.
