Can Anyone Replace Tires?

[pfrass]

Hello to all...

I need new tires for my '06 GS300 (No uneven wear, but 21K miles only!).

This is the first vehicle I have owned with low tire pressure sensors. No Lexus dealer all that close to me, so I would prefer to do local (Toyota, Sears, Firestone). Can anyone do it with the sensors. When I purchase new tires do I need to restrict my choices to tires that accomodate pressure monitors?

Also, have others only gotten about 20K miles out of the factory tires or is it my driving?

Tires have nothing to do with the pressure monitors.

You can go anywhere and get tires.

Some people get 20K on tires and some people get more.

Depends on many things.

tire pressure sensors are very common on many lines of cars. Most chain tire stores are knowledgable about them.

Toyota uses the same sensors as Lexus, so you could go to them as well.

your are not required to go to your Lexus dealer for new tires.
