#71 of 76 Replacing my IS 250 Tires by bergersr Apr 23, 2009 (6:59 am)
I have an 2007 IS 250 with 35,000 miles, which has Bridgstone Turanza tires - 225 40-18 fronts and 255 40-18 rears. I don't want to spend more than $150 per tire if I can. Any suggestions as to a good replacement tire?   Thanks. Replies to this message: carmonkey (Apr 23, 2009 2:46 pm) bergersr (Apr 24, 2009 2:53 pm)

Replying to: bergersr (Apr 23, 2009 6:59 am) Personally, I recommend not skimping on tires. If you cannot afford to properly equip the car, you cannot afford the car. With that said, Goodyear Eagles might be "budget" option to consider. Replies to this message: bergersr (Apr 24, 2009 2:53 pm)

#75 of 76 losing air pressure by LexusSled Oct 13, 2009 (8:49 am)
I have a 2008 IS 250 AWD. Due to frequent TPMS warnings I have gotten in the habit of checking the tire air pressure about once a month. These low profile tires seem to consistently lose about 2-4 psi every month. I have contacted Lexus and had the car into the dealership. Everything checked out ok. Is this just a fact of life with low profile tires? This is the first car I have owned with low profile tires and I don't plan on purchasing another. They seem to require more maintenance than other tires. I drive under normal suburban and highway road conditions. Nothing extreme. In the year and a half I have owned this car I have spent an inordinate amount of time checking tire pressure and adding air. Thanks. Replies to this message: vcheng (Oct 13, 2009 9:47 am)

Replying to: LexusSled (Oct 13, 2009 8:49 am) Try this: adjust pressure to 27 psi or therabouts in all tires including the spare. Reinitialize the system at this pressure (check the owner's manual). Reset tire pressures to 35 psi or so (or wherever you prefer to be). Now the warning will come on a lot less frequently.   A lot of 2 psi per month is not all that unusual. A loss of of 1 psi per 10 degree change in ambient temp is also usual.   Of course, you can always decide to be duly diligent and keep on as you have been!
