I suppose you can as long as you drive it slow and straight to the tire shop. Make sure the tire outside diameter is the same as your other tires.

The only thing to watch for with smaller rims is that they clear the brakes.

    Warning light on too often. I have new tires, was told to check pressure every month. They said losing 1 lb per tire is normal. The warning comes on at 5 lb loss. Wonder if the sensor is faulty?

    I just switched from a 2010 RX350 AWD to a 2015 RX350 AWD. Apparently the fuel tanks are the same size, but I believe I'm getting 40-50 fewer miles per tank. Why?
