Default Inner Tire Wear 16' IS300 F Sport

Hey guys 2016 Lexus IS300 Fsport, got a nail in my back tire. Went to get it patched and they showed me how bad the inner tread got almost had wires showing. Im going to replace the rears tomorrow. but likely gonna skip on the alignment.
....drove home to find another nail in the front tire. But tread is good all around so over the phone tire guy said it should be patchable.

I want to look into the RCF, GCF bushings . i believe the rear is more so the issue. Can any one explain exactly what the bushings are, how much they cost, and how much i can expect to spend with installation?

thanks guys appreciate it.

they're stiffer. stiffer/less movement. less movement/less wear. mitigates, not eliminates.

want performance on street, have to pay a penalty. same w/ all performance biased cars. porsche, amg, bmw etc.

I bought FIGS bushings and their rear upper control arms and so far my IS has not had any issues so far with the inner tire wear problem.

The typical wear complaints are the front tires. The RCF bushings to help with the inner tire wear issue on the front.

Do you have any suspension modifications? On a stock car, the rear doesn't have any inherit issues. So an alignment would correct the issue, provided nothing is bent or something like that.

no modifications, thank you i think i will certainly get an alignment. My fronts have been wearing almost evenly luckily. I didnt realize that the infamous toe in wear was mostly for the front.
