TIRE SERVICE:
2013 Lexus GS Series vehicles come with a compact spare tire mounted on a Lexus
approved wheel as standard equipment. The spare tire is stored in a well in the trunk
floor under trunk carpeting.
When installing the spare wheel, follow all recommended procedures including cleaning
of the hub and axle mating surfaces, tightening the lug nuts securely in a criss-cross
pattern and checking the spare for proper inflation. The recommended torque on the lug
nuts is 76 ft/lbs (103 N/m, 10.5 kgf/m).
NOTE: On Lexus GS 350 F Sport RWD models:
Do not install a steel wheel on any axle of these vehicles. The spare tire on
these vehicles have an aluminum wheel designed to properly mate with the
hub assemble. Installing a steel wheel on these vehicles may cause damage or
the wheel to come loose from the vehicle while driving.
Do not attempt to rotate the tires on this vehicle as the rear wheels are wider
than the front. If a rear wheel is placed on the front axle, the tire/rim may
rub on other vehicle components.
