I don't know if this is normal but I feel I have excessive inner tire wear only on the fronts.
The car drives perfectly straight, doesn't pull, and feels well planted.

However the inner most inch seems to be taking all the punishment.

I rotated the fronts to the rear at 25k mi. which made me notice just how much camber this car is set up with after comparing to the rears which have very even wear.

Can you guys shed some light on what to do if anything? ie: leave it alone based upon my above description or take it to the dealer? or???

(this is a 10 year old car, with 90k+mi. Factory stock front end with no parts ever replaced and never had an alignment.)

what do you guys think?

 

I think you need to get an alignment.

 

Your toe could be messed up. Even if you drive straight and the car doesn't pull, alignment could still be off!

 

Not normal.

 

alignment ....

 

Same wear happened on my tires. the toe on your alignment is out. It may drive straight but it needs to be adjusted. Do it quick or you'll soon be buying new tires.

 

are you lowered at all? what did your alignment specs come out to when you did?

its all about toe, try to zero it out

 

yep it's alignment time. I second that it's probably your toe

 

Sound like the toe up front is out. Get her on an alignment rack

 

ok already. I'll look into getting the car to the shop for an alignment.
Car is factory L-Tuned and has always had this inner tire wear.
Me and my tires thank you for all the feedback on toe-in.

 

25k rotations? geez! at least have 5-6k rotations or do it at every oil change.

 

Definitely sounds like the front toe is out of sync. 4-Wheel alignment and you'll be fine. Rotating isnt helping.

 

lol at least we can all agree on something for a change.. Get thee to an alignment shop!

 

thanks guys,
do you think using the Lexus dealer is important for an alignment? I have a hard time trusting any old place.
what would be great is to find one of those places such as a Firestone tire store that offers lifetime alignments.
