GS 300 Tire Wear
This car came with a set of low profile Dunlops. !5K Service the advisor buries the comment...tires shot. At 21K all 4 tires are worn on the insides, not visible. The 2 fronts are down to the steel belt. Immediately replaced with Michelin MX4V S8s. Lexus service advisor states the GS300 tires wear that way and the tires are only good for 20K. Can this be true...why would tires wear so unevenly...I've had them wear out on the outside treads when driving alot of hills...but my use has been only on freeway and surface streets. Any comments?

Any Solutions???
My GS is lowered and have 19" on right before I changed my tires, they wear out faster on the inner side. Is there a way to fix this problem or do I have to inter change the tires ever so often?
Right after I got my tires, I've noticed a slight pull to the right. It's nothing horrible, but still irritates me when I driving.

The yoko advans that came with mine were so loud that they were thrased at 19k.I believe that the car was out of alignment from the showroom floor.The car never pulled and handled very well,but the advans started making noise at 12k miles.Lexus blamed yokohama and did absolutely nothing to help.Yokohama was pointing the finger at Lexus.I bought 4 michelin pilot hx.The yokos were chopped pretty bad .

not lowered
My GS300 is not lowered and my dunlops are wearing on the inside and have gotten very loud at 12k. I went to Butler Tire to check out the alignment, they say everything is ok....then why would the inside be wearing this way?
