Mileage on original tires

Patriotic1 — Thu, 28 May 2026 18:08:43 GMT

I'm at 22K miles on my 2024 500h, and I just noticed this morning that my remaining tread life appears lower than I expected. I rotate the tires every 6 months. It looks like the outside edges are wearing slightly faster than the middle if that makes sense. I guess I just thought I wouldn't have to worry about getting new tires before 30K miles, but it appears as though I may need to before winter. What sort of mileage are others seeing from the OE tires?

Dirt, small particle mostly on the inside of the lowest door trim

kgraves779 — Tue, 26 May 2026 16:22:59 GMT

First, no I have not been to the beach and do not live in a sandy/loam soil area. So, I opened my driver's door over the weekend and noticed a "gray trim" strip along the bottom of the inside of the door. Never noticed it before and when I touched it with my finger it was very dry, light gray dusty, almost fine sand collected along there and we have a lot or rain lately so I was puzzled as to why it was so dry. See the picture. After I wipped it away I thought I should have snapped a pic of it for this thread but I checked all the other doors and ALL of them have the same collection of this very dry, light gray, fine sand along the lower edge of the door.

Anyway to prevent this as I assume it very slowly gets distributed throughout the car as time moves forward and not sure what to do to stop this collection.

Notice the collection of this very fine dirt along the bottom edge of the inside of the door. All four doors.

Bike rack on back, suggested settings?

DonsCA — Mon, 25 May 2026 13:55:12 GMT

I put my bike rack on with my bike. Went to back out of the driveway, and the car was not having it, slammed the brakes on. Off goes the parking brake assist. Anything else? I get a constant proximity alert backing up with the rack on. I did adjust the Auto parking to have an "accessory" on the back but it does not adjust the other sensors.

Hello, just purchased 2026 TX350 and looking to purchase Grand highlander running board and Mudguard from Toyota as they currently have sale going on. Can anyone confirm if they fit TX350 who has already done that? Thanks a lot in advance.

Android Auto / '25 TX350

chibisae — Wed, 20 May 2026 14:49:34 GMT

This has been discussed in other model forums, but did not see one specific to the TX.

When using Android Auto, is there any possible way to have better access to Lexus infotainment and controls? In my vehicle when my wife connects to Apple CarPlay the Lexus side menu is still available, but not visible when using Android Auto via my Google Pixel 10 Pro. In some versions of Android Auto that I've seen posted in RX forums, there is a down arrow in the top left that gets you to Lexus infotainment with one click. In my current vehicle using Android Auto, the only way to get to Lexus infotainment is pressing at least 3 times-- twice to get to the Android Auto App Drawer and then a final click of the Lexus icon.

Any advice? Thanks!

Tires - 22" diameter vs. 20"

tinmanwpk — Mon, 18 May 2026 17:35:50 GMT

Apparently my car came with, unbeknownst to me at the time, 22 inch diameter wheels and tires in lieu of OEM 20". OK, that's the way it is. My questions are, do I still maintain 35 psi all around? Is the load carrying capacity the same as with 20"? And does it have any effect on towing? The stickers were never changed by the dealer to reflect 22".

265/50R22 Tires on TX350 Luxury 22-inch OEM Wheels

GeneralJim — Thu, 14 May 2026 04:29:21 GMT

Hello all. The factory spec tire size on a TX350 Luxury AWD with the 22-inch rims is 255/45R22 but I�m looking to add more sidewall in the tires to better absorb imperfections in the road.

I�d like to keep the 22-inch rims as I really like how they look. Has anyone tried putting 265/50R22 tires on their TX? Any issues with clearance, rubbing, etc.?

Fuel reserve fix..TSB inside

G30540i — Mon, 11 May 2026 14:47:25 GMT

Saw this on FB. Surprised it doesn't apply to the 2026 models as ours is a bit conservative also and goes to zero when there's still quite a bit left in the tank...

EDIT: I hate how FB likes to put their own link, didn't notice on my phone, poster below has the direct link.

TX550h+ production halt rumors

Lynneifer — Tue, 05 May 2026 02:00:26 GMT

I have been seeing statements on social media forums that dealers are telling people that Lexus is halting/delaying production of the TX550h+ for 12-14 months. Does anyone know if this is true?

type of oil

jenslexus — Sun, 03 May 2026 00:47:25 GMT

what type of oil do you all use on a 2026 Tx 500 H F sport luxury. I have found several threads on other parts of the internet that say 0w16 but cant find anything on it but to use 0w20. So there is amzoil 0w16 available
any thoughts from anyone.
