How many do you have? 2 / 4? what's the total price you're looking for?

kaetamer

Yeah, that was pretty dumb wasn't it.

They are a full set of four, looking for $600.

Thanks for setting me straight!

I see RAMPING on those fronts.... I hope mine don't get that once I have 9500 miles on them I'm about to put at least 7K miles on mine for a big road trip next week...... ......now that I took off my 19" SSR GT3s and I only have 4K miles on them right now....

kaetamer

What is ramping?

ceboyd

if you look at the inside of your left front, you can see how some of the blocks are raised more than the others... where there is part of the tire sort of sloped up which is clearly evident in the photo showing where the actual dirt/dust is and you can even see a little bit of the ramping... If you run your hand over it, you will feel it if you can't see it..

This seems to be pretty common on cars today.. It happened witih my former Z3 Roadster too.. and it made for a shimmy ride after too much uneven wear

kaetamer

Since those tires are now off the car (and still available for sale ; )), should I be doing something with alignment etc to prevent it from happening to the new tires?

Thanks for your help.

ceboyd

that is usually from negative camber... not sure anything can be done.. ask your lexus dealer about it.... I know my former Z3 was famous for it happening
