I really do not believe the data sheet as:
a) I did not pay for an aligment which the dealer surly would have charged for
b) The service advisor told be nothing wrong was found and that everything was in spec
c) The paper work I recieved from the visit states no issues were found with the alignment, excessive wear is due to performance tires.
Just bad in so many ways. I made an appointment at a performance shop that does high end cars to recheck everything.

Hi All,
If I missed a thread somewhere appologies.
I have a new (4300 miles) IS 500 F=Sport Premium Molten Pearl and the rear inside tires both sides are down to almost nothing and need replacing. I am old and have driven the car mostly in econo mode. The middle and outer edge are as one would expect. Front tires still look new.
The dealer says there is no camber adjustment for the rear oif a 2023 IS 500 and that the rear aligmant is set to spec. I find this hard to believe. Also they say this is just how it is to replace tires every 4500 miles. I dont believe that at all. I have a IS 250 Fsport 2017 and tire wear is about 15000 miles average.
I checked and there seems to be no camber kit for the rear of a IS 500 F-Sport.
Any ideas out there as to why or how to adjust? Thanks in advance.

Interestingly that when I got my car (is350 rwd) at 15k miles I took me just less thank 8k miles to completely annihilate new set of dws06. They also wore out on the inside (all the way to the cord). Subsequent alignment showed that both rear wheels were in toe out and way out of spec.

My front tires wore out at 14.5k miles and the rears are almost ruined nearing 14.8k miles now. The inner wear on both the front and rear is ridiculous. I don't race the car. It is a calm daily and a cruiser. I am driving it basically like a Prius with the occasional 65mph to 9xmph pull to get to speed... This premature tire wear and strange pattern of wear is silly. I am not a happy camper. The IS500 (and most IS in general) eat the tires like candy.
