GET ALL THE SUSPENSION YOU CAN!!!!!! ahh!!! LOL j/k... if you wanted a soft ride you would have bought an LS not a GS..
What Lexus did with the GS was take a Toyota sports sedan (Aristo) and dip it in luxury juice and then slapped a Lexus badge on it!!! Bring your car back to it's roots... SPORTS SEDAN..... and if you have the money drop a 2JZ-GTE in it!!!
sorry for the rant but it's late... I am listening to techno and cleaning my car

Lexus Fanatic
Not sure if I mentioned it already, but maybe < 11/32 is a Michelin thing? I never even checked that until the Premiers. My Pilot Super Sports (I simply felt too many rave reviews to not get them) have < 11/32 to start, and much less in the rear than front. At the same time, they have that "deep" tread feel by hand, like the tires have meat. The premiers never feel that way, they look worn out of the gate. And as mentioned, the GMC dealer goes by normal standards, and at 20k, they show up on the multipoint as needing replacement soon. We went to Costco Sun. to rotate at 30k, and I felt like dang can these even last this fall and winter?
We tend to throw tires away early due to the look of them, meaning the appearance of the tread. I know I tossed some BMW front tires at 4/32, because the rears had gone down to the wear indicators. You can't do that with Premiers, if you do you'd likely be doing so at 30-35k. I have a sinking feeling we'll be doing the 60k warranty thing, which is why we keep up with the rotation...
