Where the rubber meets the road is what concerns you these days. As the temperatures rise to the triple digits your tire pressure fluctuates greatly. There are also road hazards that can cause damage to your tires as well.

The tire center at Lexus of Henderson is ready to assist when you need us. We not only do tire replacements; we can service them with exact balancing and rotation.

Before you consider what can go wrong with your tires, we have some tips for you to ensure that they are in good shape in our Southern Nevada climate.

First, consider rotating your tires. That way, you maximize the treadwear on your tires, return the best possible fuel economy, and ensure your car handles as well as it possibly can.

Your tires should be rotated every 3,000 to 7,000 miles, depending on the type of tire and vehicle. To find the exact recommended mileage, consult your owner’s manual to find your manufacturer’s suggested interval. You can also talk to one of the service advisors at the Lexus of Henderson Service Department, who has all the specific information about your Lexus.

The rotation pattern is typically front to back and side to side; however, there are some special considerations to bear in mind. Most modern rear-wheel drive performance cars, such as the Lexus LC and RC F, run larger tires on the back than the front. If this is the case for your car, you’ll need to switch the tires from side to side, rather than front to back and side-to-side. Be careful, some of these tires are unidirectional, which you may want to consult with the Lexus of Henderson service department on the best way to get the most tread life from them.

However, if you do need to replace your tires – Lexus of Henderson may just have them in stock. Or, we can order them quickly so you can get back on the road.

Contact us at the Lexus of Henderson service department to make an appointment today to get your tires rotated, serviced, and even replaced!
