Default Tire Rotation

On my 2020 LCertified LS500, is the Maintenance Required message supposed to show up every 5,000 miles for tire rotation?
I live 100 miles from my nearest Lexus dealer, so get my tire rotations done locally.
I had my oil changed 3,000 miles ago at the dealer and This message appeared this week. The maintenance required message was not on when I took it in for the oil change.
So I assume I should just follow instructions in the manual and reset it myself.

Yes, just reset yourself. I just did mine last weekend. It actually shows up every 5K because they want you to show up for scheduled 5K service intervals for revenue purposes. The ones in-between the oil change are worthless except for the tire rotation that you can do elsewhere for free where you bought your tires.

How them tires wearing? I only have about 4k miles on my quiet tracks.
Great tire by the way. Much smoother and handling is excellent.

I have put 7,000 miles on them and they all seem to be wearing evenly with one rotation.
8/32 on all treads. That’s 2/32 wear which is 1/5 of the tread. 5x7,000=35,000 miles until they are slick, so a lot better than the runflats. I have been running 38lbs. Lexus says run 35 in the runflats. I have no complaints with ride or handling. Ride might improve a little if I let them down to 35psi. I will admit to driving like a teenager much of the time, so I’m happy with them.
Just returned from a 2,000 mile trip, mostly on Interstate 70 in fairly fast traffic. Computer says top speed was 104. Google Maps LEO warnings are nice.

I have about 28K miles on the QT's with about 5/32nd's remaining. (starts out at 10/32nds per spec) Still ride awfully nice and wearing evenly with rotations.

Mostly driven on Highway.

Based on the current wear rate thinking they will need replacement in 15-20K miles.

With these rated at 80K miles, I will wear them out in half their rating but not bad for this heavy AWD beast.

I think you will find that they wear slower from now on once you hit 8/32nds.

My experience is with 28K miles on the QT's and a little more than 5/32nd's remaining. (starts out at 10/32nds per spec) Still ride awfully nice and wearing evenly with rotations driven mostly on Highway.
