Concerns On Full Lock

[Selmer mk6]

Just before my query, I noticed this article from Toyota about the IS F. Most of you may have read this already. Interesting that Toyota describe the car as an IS F and not IS-F

Query

I have noticed that when the car is on full lock (especially when I first drive off) the tyres seem to be scrubbing. It is difficult to describe. It feels like the front tyres are struggling for grip and it is a bit off putting. If I move really slowly it does not happen.

Reassuringly, some drivers in America (Clublex.com) have had the same problem and have been advised (by Lexus) that there is nothing to worry about.

Have any of you guys experienced this?

Mine does exactly the same. Think its a combination of wide tyres and steep camber angle when on full lock. Possibly as well in winter temperatures the summer tyres have much less grip.

Good article, I've not seen that before.

Thanks,

More reassurance.

Yeah the article was interesting. I thought they may have explained a bit more about the quad pipes not being attached (I think they look cool). You know rivals seem to discount the car on that item alone. Their loss!

I asked this a week or so ago and asked the main dealer. It is normal due to the size of the tyre. it is not rubbing the arches so not causing any damage.

Nothing to worry about. :D
