Rear axle PSI and bar on the Lexus LX 700h

Drivetrain: all-wheel drive
Body: SUV / crossover
PSI F / R: 32-35 / 32-35
Bar F / R: 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4

psi rear

2.31 bar · 231 kPa at the rear axle

32-35 psi F · 32-35 psi R · 2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar · 231/231 kPa

The rear of a SUV / crossover takes passengers, luggage and, on vans, payload. Catalogue rear pressure on the Lexus LX 700h is 32-35 psi / 2.2-2.4 bar. Size estimates on this page include 235/60R18, 215/70R16 and 225/60R18 — interpolated from the catalogue midpoint, not a second factory sticker. Keep side-to-side spread inside about 2 psi so the all-wheel drive hardware is not working on a radius mismatch.

Lexus LX 700h placard versus sidewall

The tyre-information placard on a Lexus LX 700h sits on the driver’s door pillar (sometimes the fuel-filler flap). Catalogue figures here are a general band: 32-35 / 32-35 psi.

Estimated pressure by tyre size (235/60R18 and others)

If your Lexus LX 700h no longer wears the OEM diameter, start at the row nearest 235/60R18 or 215/70R16 and confirm with the tyre maker’s load table.

Tyre size	Front PSI	Rear PSI	Front bar	Rear bar	Front kPa	Rear kPa	Note
235/60R18	—	36	—	2.48	—	248	Plus-size 18-inch
215/70R16	—	34	—	2.34	—	234	Compact crossover
225/60R18	—	35	—	2.41	—	241	Highway CUV
225/65R17	—	35	—	2.41	—	241	Very common 17-inch
245/55R19	—	36	—	2.48	—	248	Low-profile 19-inch
245/60R18	—	37	—	2.55	—	255	Heavier CUV
235/65R17	—	36	—	2.48	—	248	Mid-size SUV
255/50R20	—	37	—	2.55	—	255	20-inch plus-size

Pressure against load

Load moves the rear of a SUV / crossover first. If the factory placard already has a “laden” column, use that instead of these sketches.

Condition	Front (est.)	Rear (est.)
Driver only	34 psi / 2.34 bar	34 psi / 2.34 bar
Full occupancy	34 psi / 2.34 bar	35 psi / 2.41 bar
Motorway + luggage	35 psi / 2.41 bar	36 psi / 2.48 bar

A family SUV / crossover with a boot full of luggage should use the laden rear figure if Ford, VW or Mercedes printed one. Otherwise the modest steps in the load table are only a sketch for this LX 700h.

How to set the LX 700h

Measure before the school run, not after the M25.
Write LF / RF / RR / RL. Do not keep LX 700h numbers in your head.
Add air in short bursts toward 34 psi (2.31 bar) front and 34 psi rear.
If one corner is 4 psi down, hunt for a nail before you blame the weather.

Temperature drift

Roughly 1 psi per 5–6 °C. The table uses 34 psi as a 20 °C baseline for this LX 700h.

Ambient	Gauge (front mid)	Bar	kPa	Note
−5 °C (hard frost)	31 psi	2.14 bar	214 kPa	Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm
0 °C	32 psi	2.21 bar	221 kPa	Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm
8 °C (UK winter morning)	33 psi	2.28 bar	228 kPa	Gauge reads low; do not overfill once warm
20 °C (set cold here)	34 psi	2.34 bar	234 kPa	Baseline
30 °C	36 psi	2.48 bar	248 kPa	Do not bleed a hot tyre
38 °C (heatwave tarmac)	37 psi	2.55 bar	255 kPa	Do not bleed a hot tyre

Lexus notes

No special Lexus exception: the LX 700h uses the door-pillar placard. Size estimates on this page only help if you have left the original load index behind.

Spare and inflator kit

A matching full-size spare on the Lexus LX 700h usually follows the higher axle (often the rear, near 32-35 psi). A space-saver is commonly 60 psi / 4.1 bar — read that tyre’s own sidewall. An inflator kit is not a spare; check the sealant date.

If the Lexus sticker and this page disagree, the sticker wins.

Questions about this LX 700h

What PSI if I plus-size toward 225/60R18?

Keep load index at or above OEM. Low-profile sizes usually stay at or slightly above the placard. Use 235/60R18, 215/70R16 and 225/60R18 as a planning band.

Should I bleed pressure after a motorway run?

No. Heat raises the gauge. Set cold only. Bleeding a hot tyre leaves it low the next morning.

How often should I check a LX 700h?

Monthly, before a long trip, and after a 10 °C weather swing. Include a full-size spare.

What tyre pressure should a Lexus LX 700h use?

Catalogue reference is 32-35 psi front and 32-35 psi rear (2.2-2.4 / 2.2-2.4 bar), cold. Confirm on the door-pillar placard.

Front versus rear on the Lexus LX 700h?

This row is 32-35 F / 32-35 R. Even when they match, a laden rear can justify a higher number if the sticker prints one.
