Hi
I live in Poland and I have my IS300h by 4 months.
I found strange sound and vibration after I changed tires for a winter tires.
It's happening only if engine is on low revs, 1k-1.2k, and it seems to that chassis isn't dumping engine vibration well enough. I don't know, why this effect wasn't appearing on a summer tires.
Before changing tires, I met some guy with his IS300h, and he was telling me, that car is great, but when he changed tires to winter ones, the car drives completely different, that he feels like riding on a bad tarmac. I was on summer tires, so it was clear that he has got bad tires, but I have now different tires than he has, and I have the same vibration.
Have you ever experienced it?
