Lexus NX Tire Service FAQs and Tips

What size tires does my Lexus NX need?

The correct tire size for your Lexus NX depends on its model year and trim level. Generally, you'll find sizes like 225/60R18 for base models and 235/50R20 for F SPORT and higher trims. Always check the placard on the driver's side door jamb or your owner's manual for the exact size and specifications recommended by Lexus.

How often should I rotate my Lexus NX's tires?

To ensure even tread wear and extend the life of your tires, we recommend rotating them every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. A regular rotation schedule can also coincide with your routine oil changes, making it easy to remember.

Does my Lexus NX require special tires, like run-flats?

Some Lexus NX models come equipped with run-flat tires from the factory, which allow you to drive a short distance even after a puncture. While you can replace them with conventional tires, you would also need to get a spare tire kit, as vehicles with run-flats do not typically come with one. Check your current tires or consult your owner's manual to see what your vehicle was originally equipped with.

When is it time to replace the tires on my Lexus NX?

You should replace your tires when the tread depth reaches 2/32 of an inch. You can check this using the "penny test"—if you can see all of Abraham Lincoln's head when a penny is inserted into the tread, it's time for a new set. Also, inspect your tires regularly for signs of aging, cracks, bulges, or punctures that could indicate a need for replacement, regardless of tread depth.
