Problem overview

Some Lexus ES350 owners report experiencing tire blowouts after hitting potholes, particularly when using new tires and wheels. These blowouts can occur due to immediate tire damage from potholes or debris, as well as from overloading the vehicle beyond tire capacity, which adds excess pressure and accelerates wear. Additionally, aging tires can lose structural integrity, increasing the risk of blowouts. Underinflation is another concern, as insufficient air can make tires too flexible, leading to heat build-up and increased tread wear, especially when encountering potholes. To mitigate these risks, regular tire maintenance, proper inflation, and cautious driving around potholes are essential. Owners are advised to have their tires and wheels inspected by a professional if they suspect damage to ensure safety on the road.
