Default new ls460

Just got a new LS 460 2010 CPO swb

The car is nice but there's something strange about the climate system
The rear left and right vents that are next to the door are always releasing cold air, even when the
middle rear vents are very hot. It takes a long time for door vents to turn warm after the rest of the vents are hot, is that normal for an LS460?

Thanks in advance!

Here's a quick pic! Anyone have suggestions for wheel sizes? The potholes around New York are horrendous after Sandy and Nemo, I'm thinking 20s at most

Take it in to get fixed!

In my opinion, 20's look tiny on this car. I have seen a few in the wheels thread, so maybe start there.

Did you check if the climate control is on dual??? Dumb question but worth a look

Have you looked at this thread about LS460/LS600 wheels and tires? https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...ls-thread.html

If you are worried about potholes, stick to oem 19s or 20s at most

I'm worried about pot holes and still went with 22's. Do it.

I tried it on both two zone and single zone climate and they still seem to warm up slower than the other vents. I thought the car perhaps was set up like that. Took it to the dealer and they said it's normal. Might try a different one just to be sure.

I checked through the CV3 thread on the forum, I might have missed it but did anyone ever try the 20s on an LS?
