So, I trAvel for work weekly and my 2016 LS 460 (just over 19k miles) sits frequently. I’ve noticed a lot of tyre noise when I’m driving especially when coming to a full stop. The noise is a cycling thud-thud-thud until I stop. I assume it’s the tyres...is this reversible? 😔. Thoughts? Recommendations?

Could the tires be developing flat spots from sitting? If so, they should round into shape with some high speed cruising to get them good and warmed up. Surface rust on the brake rotors is another possibility. Again, use is the cure.

One method to help reduce flat spotting is to inflate the tires to close to their maximum psi while the car is stored. Of course then you have to reduce the pressure before you drive it and then re-inflate when it goes back into storage.

Some tires are more prone to flat spotting than others. 2010 model here, 43k miles, so it sits. It sits sometimes a couple to 3 weeks at a time. The Pirellis so far I haven't noticed flat spotting.
