Get Your Lexus RX450h Tire Repaired
City populations are exploding. Roads are expanding. There's construction around every corner! Unfortunately, this can mean a higher chance of a flat or damaged tire caused by debris in the road. If your 2020 Lexus RX450h is in need of a tire inspection or possible flat tire repair, Firestone Complete Auto Care has your back. There’s a chance your tire could be plugged and patched (rather than replaced). Our technicians can inspect your tire and let you know if it is safe to repair. We’ll begin by taking a look at where the damage is, the type and extent of the tire damage, and how all of your tires are wearing.
If a repair on your 2020 Lexus RX450h tire is feasible and safe, we’ll get to work on the steps to fix it: (1) Remove the tire from the wheel for inspection and repair, (2) use a filler to close up the puncture (this is to keep moisture from getting in), and (3) seal the inner liner with a repair unit to prevent air loss.
Tire Replacement for Your Lexus RX450h
Not all 2020 Lexus RX450h tire damage can be repaired. Even if your tire damage is minor, if your tires have less than 2/32nd inch of tread remaining, a repair isn’t possible (or safe). At this tread depth, the tire is worn out and must be replaced. Other tire damage that can't be safely repaired includes a tire puncture with a diameter bigger than ¼ inch; a puncture that lies outside the tire tread area; a tire with multiple punctures that are less than 16 inches apart; and a tire with cuts or tread separation.
Depending on what Lexus recommends for your car, you’ll want to consider purchasing one new tire, two new tires, or a new full set. Manufacturers of AWD vehicles, for example, often recommend replacing all four tires at once because AWD systems need uniform tires to operate properly. However, this may not be necessary if your remaining three tires are new. If you can replace your damaged tire with the same type, brand, and size as the others, you may be able to save costs and only purchase one replacement. Your tire technician can help you decide how many tires to replace and the kind of tire to purchase.
Lexus RX450h Tire Inspection
A flat tire? That’s pretty hard to ignore. But other tire damage? It’s not always obvious! Inconspicuous issues like bulging sidewalls, exhaust noise, leaks, or bent rims may indicate issues that need immediate attention. Bring your 2020 Lexus RX450h in for a tire inspection so we can assess the damage and help keep you safe on the road.
Frequently Asked Lexus RX450h Tire Repair Questions
-
Can I drive my Lexus on a flat tire? Driving on a flat tire is not a good idea. Your RX450h engine will keep running with a flat tire, but you could damage your wheel by continuing to drive on a flat.
-
Is temporary sealant bad for my Lexus's tires? Fast fixes are a mixed blessing. They’ll help you get your Lexus RX450h to Firestone Complete Auto Care, but don’t count on them to keep you on the road for very long. Using a temporary sealant may also void a Bridgestone or Firestone tire warranty.
-
What’s the harm in using my spare tire for a while? While this sounds great in theory, keep in mind that most spare tires are not designed for distance or speed. The compact spare tire that most likely sits inside your 2020 Lexus RX450h is intended for only a few days of use, so don’t use it as a substitute for getting your tire repaired.
-
Where can I get my Lexus RX450h tires repaired? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can generally take care of most Lexus RX450h tire repairs. However, it depends on the severity of the damage.
-
What can cause RX450h tires to keep losing air? If your RX450h tires are always losing air, you may have a puncture, damaged wheel, or leaking valve stem.
-
Can I replace just one or two tires on my Lexus RX450h? While it may not always be necessary to replace all four tires on your RX450h, it’s advised you replace them in pairs or all at once to ensure optimal safety and performance. Having two new tires and two worn tires can put you at risk since the worn tires might not have as good of traction as the new ones. Reference your owner’s manual to see if you will need to replace all four tires due to a large difference in tread.
