Default Lexus RC close brother to IS. Tire eating too ?

Hello,
As you know, the RC, and IS, have some shared similarities from their plattform and are aiming in the same price range.
I often saw remarks about the higher tire consumption of the 2IS and 3IS series. But never really saw anything like this for the 1RC. Does this mean this problem isn't existing on this car ?

Hi Benoit - From what I have read, the RC is not immune to this problem but NOT the RC F. One option that people have is to put the bushings from the IS F or GS F which will help with the premature wear associate with the toe issue. I could not explaining it well but in a nut shell, that is the scoop
