i go through a set every 12 months. The price you gotta pay when rolling on 20s.

It's a bummer, but the lower the profile with the larger size........your not going to get much mileage out of the tire......and they are damn expensive!

Been through that also, tires would last me 10-14K typically but some were gone in 6-8K. Raise it up a bit...yeah, the look changes drastically but it saves $$ as far as tire replacements go.

Yeah I am on my 3rd set now. It is the price you pay for the look. Its better than rolling stock

hahaha...

when I had my honda accord, I went through 3 SETS of tires the first year I had my wheels and drop....luckly they where 18"s..

But the SO3 on my current HREs are holding up pretty good......

TLW brings up an excellent point.

How hard would it be to weld in an adjustable camber piece to a Lexus UCA ( Upper Control Arm)

How many of you are familiar with Ingalls products?:

free tires are good to have!

This is why I stick to factory size tires. They may not be exactly 'Bling, Bling' but with the right tire, I can get 60,000 - 80,000 miles on a set for a fraction of the price of the larger lower profile sets that barely get 20k.

well you are a modding a lexus, so prepared to pay. a set of tire is only about 1k, i think people should be ablet o afford that. otherwise, the stock setup is always there

Lexusfreak

I can buy 2+ sets of stock tires for that price & combined for over 100,000+ miles of wear. Like you said....be prepared to pay.

On a more practical basis, I chosed not to go staggered so I can rotate them.
This will help somewhat and going with a higher treadwear rating (~340) instead of the super low z-ratings.

I drive alot so there's no way I can be changing these tires too frequently

This is my first time going low profiles, so we'll see how long these will last
