How do I check the tire pressure on my Lexus IS250?

My fuel efficiency is dwindling and I’ve heard that low tire pressure can be the culprit. How do I find out the tire pressure on a Lexus IS250?

You can check the tire pressure on your
Lexus IS250
by using a manual
tire pressure gauge
to get an accurate reading on each tire. To do this, follow these simple steps.
  • Remove the tire air valve cap from your tire’s valve stem
  • Press the head of the tire pressure gauge against the end of the valve stem to get a pressure reading
  • If the tire’s pressure is below the recommended level, add some air
  • If the pressure level is higher than the recommended level, you can release air from the tire by pressing a screwdriver or key to the valve head
  • Continue this process until the tire is at the correct pressure
  • Repeat these steps until all tires are at the correct tire pressure level
The correct tire pressure for a Lexus IS250 is between 35–36 psi for front tires and between 36–38 psi for rear tires. The exact tire pressure specs will depend on what type of tires your IS250 is equipped with.
If your Lexus is outfitted with a multi-information display, you’ll be able to see each tire’s current pressure reading by toggling to the “tire pressure” menu. There you can find all the info you need to keep your tires properly inflated.
However, if your tires are not equipped with tire pressure sensors, your Tire Pressure Monitoring System may not be able to give you tire pressure information.
Keeping your tires properly inflated is important, and experts recommend that you check your tire pressure at least once a month. Underinflated tires can lead to blowouts, poor fuel efficiency, and wonky steering. These situations can lead to costly accidents which will then drive up your
car insurance
rates. So, if you want to save money on fuel, car maintenance, and car insurance, keep your tires properly inflated!
