INSTALLING SNOW TIRES AND

CHAINS

When to use snow tires or chains

Snow tires or chains are recommended when driving on snow or

ice.

On wet or dry roads, conventional or radial tires provide better

traction than snow or studded tires.

Snow tire selection

If you need snow tires, select the same size, construction and load

capacity as the original tires on your Lexus.

Do not use tires other than stated above. Since your vehicle has

radial tires as original equipment, make sure your snow tires also

have radial construction. Do not install studded tires without first

checking local regulations for possible restrictions.

Snow tire installation

Snow tires should be installed on all wheels.

Installing snow tires on the front wheels only can lead to an excessive

difference in road grip capability between the front and rear tires

which could cause loss of vehicle control.

CAUTION

 Snow tires should be inflated to the same pressure as the

original tires.

 Never drive over 120 km/h (75 mph) with any type of snow

tires.

Tire chain selection

Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to

location or type of road. Always check the local regulations

before installing chains.

Use only genuine Lexus tire chains or equivalent for RX300.

Part No. 08329–48802

NOTICE

If the wrong combination of tire and chain is used, the chains

could damage the vehicle body.
