OKAY, before I start, my wheels are never kerbed, i avoid pot-holes and they spend most of there time on the motorway.
Now.............
I had an IS200 Sport from new and i traded it in after 20 months with 37k miles on it, it was still on the original tyres and ALL tryes had worn down perfectly even I traded this car in for a NEW IS300 and within 7 months and 10k miles later the inner edges to the front tyres are now illegal, the remaining part of the tyres still show 6mm. The whole handling of the car feels shagged , it bumps steers, tram-lines and just about ever bump is transmitted through the cabin !
It seriously needed a 4 wheel laser alignment, but felt Lexus should pay, But... hey ! they wouldnt As i suspected, the fronts were toeing out, but just about every angle on all 4 wheels were out!
This has been corrected with the alignment now but one of my CASTER angles is outside the tollerance figures and it can't be adjusted, i guess it won't affect tyre wear, but surely this can't be right for the cars handling?
I'm dissapointed with a car that cost me £30k, Lexus can't sort out tyre wear!
The ride does feel improved now but i still get a 'tugging' from the steering wheel at speeds below 40mph, it feels like there is no straight line stability at all !!!
Anyone else get this on a NEW car?????????????
