What tires come standard on a Lexus ES 350?
There isn’t a single universal tire size for the Lexus ES 350. The standard tires depend on model year, trim level, and regional market; in recent generations, base trims use 17-inch wheels and higher trims use 18-inch wheels with corresponding tire sizes.
Understanding the variability
Because Lexus updates wheel sizes and optional packages across model years and markets, the exact tire size can change. The best way to know your car’s spec is to check the tire placard on the door jamb, consult the owner's manual, or contact a Lexus dealer with your VIN.

How to confirm for your exact ES 350
Use these steps to confirm the correct tire size for your car:
- Look at the driver’s side door jamb placard for the tire size and recommended pressure.

Confirming the exact size helps ensure proper fitment, performance, and safety.
