Hi Folks, just a warning re tyres. I foolishly fitted some rather funky tyre caps. Polished steel with the Lexus logo on the tip. I greased them before fitting but like a fool I didn't check the pressures for a few months (lazy I know) and when the tyre pressure warning light came on I descended on my garage to check the pressures. The caps were solid and I couldn't remove them. I applied some release spray and left overnight. Next day I tried again and ended up using pliers to remove the caps. The first attempt snapped the valve so I ended up putting the spare on and driving to my local tyre store. All 4 valves were ripped out and I've ended up with standard valves fitted and the tyre pressure light constantly on (until I get the valves changed to the correct sending valves) Expensive lesson....stick with the rubber caps.

Thanks for that. Still can't believe Lexus don't think it necessary to show tyre pressures for each wheel on British NX models. The roads in the UK are dreadful to say the least. Cheers,

David, not sure if you've found the same problem but in one manual it says 27psi (below 160kmh) but on the Lexus page it says 18" wheels on NX F-Sport should be 36psi the same as you've put in yours. I must admit I had the car new in March this year and only recently checked them. Now I've got 27psi and the warning light is constantly on. Should I inflate to 36 and re calibrate the TPMS?
