Description
The Right Spare Tire Kit Engineered Specifically For Your 2017-2024 Lexus LS 500 or 500h.
We guarantee the Modern Spare Spare Tire kits to be the highest quality and best choice for your LS 500. Here is why:
“Run-Flat” Tires-
Like many cars, your Lexus LS 500 may now come equipped with “run-flat” type tires. As a spare tire alternative, many Lexus owners find run-flat tires to have poor ride and handling quality. More importantly, they are very expensive to replace and tend to have a much shorter usable tread life. Though run-flats perform their intended function in getting you to a repair shop without air pressure, these tires are seldom repairable and require replacement if then driven on for any significant distance. The Modern Spare solution allows you to replace your run-flat tires with more affordable and better-performing conventional tires while still enjoying peace of mind as you travel.
Our Design-
To make your Modern Spare Kit incredibly simple to use, we designed an aluminum alloy wheel that is significantly lighter and more capable than a conventional steel counterpart. As a result, our spare wheel/tire combination is easier to handle. Keeping a low-weight spare improves your LS 500’s performance and fuel economy over a heavier full-sized spare. Also, to maintain excellent standards of quality, our alloy wheel meets or exceeds all the latest DOT highway safety standards.
In addition, each spare wheel is equipped with a durable space-saving tire with a DOT “M” speed rating indicating the tire is tested for a constant speed of 81mph. While it is wise to limit your speed to 50mph as some tire manufacturers state, we have chosen these “M” speed-rated tires knowing the tire’s strength and capability exceed that of normal use. This ensures that the tire is durable and well-built.
This, along with having the proper overall rolling diameter for your vehicle, will allow you to travel the needed distance to a repair shop you trust with your vehicle.
Better Tools-
To make our Spare Tire Kit better for your Lexus, we considered the frustrations that come with typical spare tire tools and accessories.
As an example, most scissor jacks are difficult to use and do not provide the needed leverage to easily lift your car. We solved this problem by developing a custom low-profile scissor jack with a unique ratcheting handle mechanism. This handle provides the required leverage to easily lift your car and lower it safely. We have carefully designed our jack to lift your vehicle properly.
Something worth noting, modern vehicles have very specific lift points for proper jack placement. More importantly, your vehicle requires a specific jack type to properly lift the car. In other words, the type of head on the jack is critically important for proper use, whereas a typical generic or universal jack will simply not do. We design our scissor jacks in-house and are specific to each make and model we support.
Lug wrench design is important. If you find a stubborn or overtightened lug bolt, our Modern Spare telescoping lug wrench provides nearly two feet of leverage. You’ll be able to easily remove and retighten your lug bolts to quickly get back on the road.
As a forethought, we included a full-size, thick plastic tire bag. Transporting a full-size flat tire and wheel can be messy. Therefore, placing the large plastic tire bag over the failed tire will help protect your car’s interior.
Our Goal-
By now, you’re aware that your LS 500 is missing a spare tire. Lexus, like many carmakers, is not providing this important lifesaver. Modern Spare wants to be the best manufacturer and provider of complete spare tire kits hands-down. We have approached our Modern Spare designs from every angle. This ensures that our customers have the best user experience possible with the best product possible. Please reach out to any of our helpful staff for questions and assistance.

Ordered Aug 16, 2023, received Aug 19, 2023. Test fitted Aug 21,2023. Perfect fit. The 19” wheel cleared the front brake calipers. The car has 20” wheels. The high profile spare is the same diameter as the low profile tire. The jack and tools are high quality. The set came with correct style lug nuts for the new wheel. The LS500 trunk is not big to start with. This spare kit leaves lots of room in the trunk. Very satisfied.
