I noticed on my left driver rear wheel some uneven wear on the tire. It is wearing faster than any of the other tires, it seems as if the inside of the tire is rolling in, getting worn on the inside track. Is this an aligment problem, or normal? The tires have about 15K on them. I want to rotate them but not sure this is wise if the rear tire setup will keep doing this. Any thoughts?

I recommend a 4-wheel computer alignment and rotating tires as described in your manual. Lexus recommends using the spare in the rotation. Keep the problem tire as a spare for emergency purposes.

Na... I have yet ventured out into dropping the car. I have the stock 17s on the wip. So a four wheel alignment is needed huh? I have 4500 more miles until my 60K, do you think I should wait it out? or drop a couple of hundred now to get it realigned?
