Questions

What size tires does a 2012 Lexus ES have?

The 2012 Lexus ES takes 215/55R17 tires.

What tire pressure does a 2012 Lexus ES need?

The manual gives 30 psi, measured with the tires cold. Check it before driving, and go by the door-jamb label if it differs, because that is set for your exact car.

Can I fit a different tire size on my 2012 Lexus ES?

Stick to a factory size for your wheel unless a tire shop confirms the swap. A different overall diameter changes speedometer readings and can upset ABS and stability control, and the load index must be at least the original.
