Interesting change in the spare on the 23s
We picked up our new RX Friday and I noticed a change in the spare. Instead of the 5 spoke wheel on the spare, it's a steel wheel. No issues with gas cap fitment as some others complained of a couple few months back.

The wife is going to drive me nuts though learning everything on the car. She's in love with her new ride but has much to learn. I'll finally do a formal intro post when time and weather allow me to detail it and take pictures.

I’m pretty sure my 4th and 3rd generation RXs had steel wheel spare tires also. I don’t think this “decontenting” is new for 2023.

Be happy it has an actual spare, My CRV Hybrid had one of those flat fix cans and an air compressor. Supposedly there was no room due to the hybrid battery. Lot's of cars are going this route to save $ even thought I would pay extra to have a real spare even if it was one the donut types.

‘’THIS! Not only glad there is a spare but Lexus did not install “run flat” tires on our vehicle. My Audi had them and it is not a better idea.
