The Importance of Proper Tire Inflation
Your tires are designed to have a specific level of inflation. Too much air or too little air can cause lots of problems down the road. If your tire pressure is too high, less of your tires will come into contact with the road. This will result in a harsher ride experience, and it can also lead to your tires becoming damaged more easily. If your tires are underinflated, you may find that you have a harder time steering and handling, and your fuel economy will drop. What's more, underinflated tires are much more susceptible to extreme damage, including blowouts. As you can see, it's vital that you have your tires at the correct inflation -- and the TPMS helps make sure that your tires stay correctly inflated.
Lexus TPMS Service
The TPMS inside your Lexus is either a direct system (which uses sensors placed inside the tires to measure tire pressure) or an indirect system (which uses wheel speed calculations to determine inflation). Either way, it's designed to do its job well; however, it may occasionally need to be recalibrated. We recommend having the TPMS checked regularly to ensure that it's giving accurate readings. Fortunately, this is a service we can perform at Lexus of Towson near Woodlawn, Maryland. Our technicians have been tested and certified by Lexus, so they know exactly what to look for and will happily give your Lexus the care it deserves. While we service your TPMS, you can enjoy our guest lounge with its complimentary snacks and beverages, free Wi-Fi, and other amenities.
