What should the tire pressure be on a 2017 Lexus ES 350?
The recommended cold tire pressure for a 2017 Lexus ES 350 is typically around 33 psi for the front tires and 32 psi for the rear tires, but you should verify the exact numbers on your car’s door jamb placard or in the owner's manual because the figures vary with wheel size and load.
Where to confirm the exact specification
To ensure you inflate correctly, use the official figures listed for your specific vehicle. They can differ by wheel size, trim, and whether you are using run-flat or winter tires. The primary sources are the door jamb tire information label and the owner's manual.
Use these sources to confirm the exact recommended pressures for your ES 350:
- Door jamb (driver’s side) tire pressure label — lists front and rear cold pressures for your installed tires.
- Owner’s Manual — provides general inflation guidance and notes on load-related adjustments.
- Tire sidewall and size information — shows the tire’s maximum pressure; never inflate beyond the manufacturer's recommended levels.
- Authorized Toyota/Lexus service or dealership — can confirm the correct figures for unusual wheel sizes or dealer-installed options.
With the exact numbers on the placard in hand, you should proceed to inflate accordingly and always measure tires when they are cold for accuracy.
Typical pressures by wheel size and configuration
Wheel size and tire type can cause slight variations. The values below reflect common configurations for the 2017 ES 350 in North America with standard tires. Always verify on your door placard.
- 17-inch wheels (typical for ES 350): Front 33 psi, Rear 32 psi (cold)
- 18-inch wheels: Front 33 psi, Rear 32 psi (cold)
- 19-inch wheels (optional trim or packages): Front 33 psi, Rear 32 psi (cold)
These are typical guidance figures; your exact numbers may differ by market or tire model. Always set inflation to the label on the door jamb and adjust for load and temperature.
Additional considerations
General rules of thumb: inflate cold tires to the recommended numbers before long trips, before driving in heat, and when carrying heavy loads. Do not exceed the tire’s maximum inflation listed on the sidewall, and recheck pressures after driving if temperatures have changed significantly.
Summary
For the 2017 Lexus ES 350, the standard guidance is to run approximately 33 psi in the front and 32 psi in the rear when the tires are cold. Always confirm the exact figures on the door jamb placard or in the owner’s manual, particularly if you have different wheel sizes or aftermarket tires. Keep tires inflated to the recommended levels for safety, fuel efficiency, and even tread wear, and adjust for load and climate as needed.
