I've now twice taken my 2022 LS500 to Lexus service in view of a low-pitched rubbing noise that seems to emanate from the left driver wheel well. This week, my mechanic took a short road test drive with me and heard the sound as well. He believes it's coming from the run-flat tires. My brakes seem fine. Tires now have 20K miles. Don't remember hearing this noise until car was a year old. Has anybody else had this issue? thanks.

Rotate the tires. Does the sound travel with the rotation? If the tech didn't do this it's a shame. You have to eliminate possibilities.

I was also having a similar issue with my 2018 LS500 last year, so I took it to the dealer a few times and they brushed it off. I finally gave up and purchased all new tires (Michelin Cross Climate 2) and it was one of the best decisions I made. Not only has the noise gone away but the ride is much softer and quieter. Only other down fault is you'd have to purchase a small spare/jack for the trunk. Since I rarely ever use the trunk for anything it wasn't such a big deal, good luck.
