20,000 Miles- Front tires need replacement
Went in for a Oil Change today and the service guy at lexus is telling me my tires need to be changed after I showed him that the outer walls of the two front tires are completely worn. I asked if its under warranty and he told me its not. Is this normal? And is it actually not covered in my warranty?

But at the same time, the stock tires are not normally the best. And under warranty? No, its a wear and tear item, just like brake pads for example

Ok, so is there anyway to correct the camber issues? Or is it just due to aliment?

Some people add camber kits but honstly I dont know too much about that. You can tweek your alighnment, but with little to no resolution. There are 3rd party warranties you can get from your tire store of choice when you go to get new ones.
Frankly, the vehicle can eat tires and an inability to rotate them contributes to its life expectancy (about 30k mi). You must have been driving them pretty hard because I got to just a hair over 30k on my OEM tires and I too have a 350. This car gives a need to lauch like the devils behind you

My '06 IS350 came with the original Dunlops (240 treadwear) when I purchased the car with 31k on the clock. I had to replace them right away, but they were the original tires nonetheless.
I do agree that the 2IS model comes with more than usual front camber; but as long as your toe is in spec, you should be getting substanially more miles I would think.

I'd say you're lucky to get that much. Some dealers offer a third party tire replacement. I bought it and it easily paid for itself. If you get unidirectionals you can swap the left and right fronts to extend the life a bit.
