BEWARE....I purchased winter tires w/rims from Tire Rack with TPMS (storing in my garage so I can change myself) only to find out the 2010 RX can only store 1 set of codes, (my 2006 could store 2 sets).

So my alternative is to pay the Dealer $90 every spring & fall to change the codes!!!

I am bringing it in for it's first 8000k oil change, and I will ask how I can disable the scensors completely.

Please let me know if the TPMS feature can be completely disabled. It really is a pain in the butt at times.

Will let you know what the dealer says...already spoke to Lexus Canada & they admitted it was a design oversight.

Yes, that is definitely a design oversight or flaw depending on which angle you choose to look at it.

Thank you everyone for your insights, feedback and wisdom. It is greatly appreciated.

One set of TPMS codes ??? That is insane and not very owner friendly at all. I ended up purchasing a set of 18" winter tires ( Blizzak DM-V1 I think ) with Lexus rims from my dealership at a cost of $3100.00

I just don't want to ruin my OEM rims that came with my sports package.

Hi everyone,

I have just picked up my RX350 and I love it !!!

But I was told that I needed to purchase a winter tire package with rims from my Lexus dealership because of the tire pressure sensors.

Therefore, I have little choice but to basically spend $4000.00 on a winter tire package with rims.

I was wondering if anyone here can add some insight and perhaps an alternative to this situation?

Thank you all in advance for your time.

Cheers

I would start by speaking with the people at tirerack.com and listen to what they have to say.....

Thanks Paul for your help. I will speak with tirerack.com and I will listen to what their thoughts and feedback alike.

Cheers

Greetings one and all,

I am a Lexus convert from my old Acura TL. I simply cannot stand the new Acura TL design ( Bird Beak design-front grille ). So I purchased a beautiful RX350 with the sports package.

But I cannot believe that I paid extra for the sports package but it does not come with the classic wooden steering wheel !!! However, it does include the VDIM safety feature and the HUD. So I will not complain too much.
