Fitment on this one is narrow by design: the 2016 IS 200t service and repair manual is tied to this model year, to the turbocharged 2.0L four (8AR-FTS) under its hood and to the trim it was built as, so each clearance, torque figure and service interval reads as Lexus published it for this car rather than as a value borrowed from another IS variant or model year.

Tire size 225/45 R 14 Purchased four tires April 22, 2019 and had to replace one tire on August 5, 2021 due to not keeping air, which I wasn't told why. Then I was having the same problem with another tire and this time was shown what the tire looked like, which is splitting, separating on the inside wall. On October 23, 2022 ordered a new tire and had them check the remaining two tires and they were both splitting, separating on the inside wall as well, which I had to order two more tires Octo

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 LEXUS IS200T. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD SQUEAKING SOUNDS FROM THE BRAKES WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER STATED THAT IF THE BRAKES WERE REPLACED, IT WOULD NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE DUE TO THE MATERIAL USED FOR THE BRAKE PADS ON THE 2016 LEXUS F-SPORT MODELS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 900.
