2018 Lexus LC500 Spare Tire
The Lexus LC500, a high-end luxury sports coupe, does not come with a traditional spare tire. Instead, it comes with a standard tire repair kit which includes tire sealant and a tire inflator. The reason for the absence of a spare tire is two-fold; firstly, it's designed to save on weight and improve fuel efficiency, and secondly, the LC500 utilizes run-flat tires, which are engineered to resist the effects of deflation when punctured, allowing the car to continue to be driven (at a reduced speed and for a limited distance) to a safe location or a service center. But if owners prefer a spare tire, a mini spare tire option is available from official Lexus service centers which usually come in size T135/80D17, along with a compact wheel. It's a temporary solution and typically designed to get you to a repair shop from a roadside puncture. It's important to note that the speed and distance the Lexus LC500 can be driven on the mini spare tire can vary depending on factors such as load and conditions of use.
2018 Lexus LC500 comes with 2 OEM tire size options. Select the original equipment the tire size installed on your vehicle to see all spare tires that have roughly the same tire diameter and can be used as a temporary replacement in the event of a flat tire. Remember that load carrying capacity of the spare tire must be the same or higher than the load carrying capacity of the original equipment tires in order to safely support the weight of your vehicle. Refer to vehicle owner's manual or contact Lexus dealership to confirm the correct 2018 Lexus LC500 spare tire size.
