That Bloke

Hi Len. No, it's not Lexus, it was in an independent for a puncture repair when I asked about it. Regarding the tyre rotation, the tyre manufacturers don't recommend that they aren't rotated (which obviously isn't quite the same as saying that new tyres should go on the rears to be fair: I probably just confused things with that comment!). For me I'd ideally like them all to need replacing at the same time because I want to switch over to the Cross Climate 2 when I switch and it seems such a waste binning tyres with quite a lot of miles left on them 😀

Ah, that makes sense. I've never actually had a low pressure warning in the 7 years I've NX's so hadn't realised that. I was always surprised that it didn't give me the tyre pressures on the 4 wheels (even my wife's Fiesta does that!) so it makes sense that it's not corner specific. Thanks for that. I know that if you're rotating you need to be specific about which wheel goes to where and there are mixed opinions on whether you should rotate or not (Costco for instance will always insist on putting new tyres on the rear if you're only getting 2 done). I think that's new on the Gen 2 NXs, but have fun with your new car: the NX is fantastic and the Gen 2 ones seem even nicer (I've had them as courtesy cars). I've had 2 NXs from new and they have been absolutely bulletproof in terms of reliability and so comfortable. I'm not particularly impressed with how Lexus have handled the Canbus theft issue, but the cars themselves are fantastic. Thanks very much for this, and interesting to hear. I suspect that it might be different for different cars (I suspect the 450h has 'proper' TPMS which gives you the pressure of the individual tyres which would explain it. Thanks so much everyone, I think I'm just going to switch them around and see what happens. I may deflate one a bit to see what I get when I do get a warning as well 😀

Hi, I've got a 2020 NX 300h and want to rotate the tyres on it but the garage have said that it may cause the TPMS to have problems if the wheels are registered to specific hubs. Does anyone know if the reset TPMS option in the car menu would sort that or is it something that needs changing through the OBD port and, if it is, would I be able to do that myself if I get a Carista or something similar or is it more involved than that? Thanks for any help!

My car has sat at "complete the activation process" since I got it 3 months ago. I just says "All done! We're processing your request which may take up to 24 hours." I did email the dealership a couple of months ago and never had a reply. Now I've got some time off I may actually follow up on it. Since the car has either been on the drive or had me in it since I got it, it hasn't been a priority 🙂 I will say that it looks very basic. Having said that, I got this one to replace a 2017 NX so having ANY connected functionality is terrific. Carplay (particularly with the Carplay2air adaptor) has made the upgrade worthwhile on it's own for me (well, maybe a slight exaggeration, but only just!).
