What is the recommended tire pressure for a 2016 Lexus GX?

The 2016 Lexus GX uses 32 PSI cold on the front axle and 32 PSI cold on the rear axle. These are the OEM specifications. Always measure tire pressure when the tires are cold — before driving or after sitting for at least 3 hours.

What tire size does the 2016 Lexus GX use?

The standard (base trim) tire size for the 2016 Lexus GX is 265/60R18. Higher trim levels and optional packages may use a different size — check the sticker inside your driver's door for the exact specification for your vehicle.

How do I convert the 2016 Lexus GX tire pressure to bar?

32 PSI = 2.2 bar (front) and 32 PSI = 2.2 bar (rear). In kPa: 221 kPa front and 221 kPa rear. Multiply PSI × 0.0689 to convert to bar.

Why are the front and rear tire pressures the same on the 2016 Lexus GX?

The 2016 Lexus GX uses equal pressure front and rear (32 PSI). The vehicle's weight distribution and symmetric tire sizing mean both axles carry similar loads per tire.

What happens if the 2016 Lexus GX tires are underinflated?

Running 5+ PSI low on the Lexus GX causes uneven shoulder wear, increased rolling resistance (worse fuel economy), higher tire operating temperature, and reduced wet braking performance. In extreme cases, chronic underinflation can cause sidewall failure. Check pressure monthly and always after a large temperature swing.

What do the numbers in 265/60R18 mean on the 2016 Lexus GX?

On the 2016 Lexus GX, 265/60R18 breaks down as: 265 = section width in millimetres (10.43"), 60 = aspect ratio (the sidewall is 60% of the width, so 159 mm / 6.26" tall), R = radial construction, and 18 = the wheel diameter in inches.

What is the overall diameter of the 2016 Lexus GX tires?

The 265/60R18 tire on the 2016 Lexus GX has an overall diameter of about 30.52" (775 mm) and a rolling circumference of roughly 95.88", giving about 661 revolutions per mile. Fitting a tire with a different diameter will throw off your speedometer and odometer.
