Wandering F Sport
Hey y'all, I'm the new owner of a '13 F Sport AWD, and have noticed that the car tends to wander a little on city streets. If I drive over obvious truck ruts, the car will pull. I've never owned a car with wide tires, and some of the research I've done indicates the culprit might be just that.
The car has 55,000 miles, so I'm confident it's not worn suspension components... In fact, according to the Lexus owners website, the previous owner complained of this and the dealer drove it and found nothing wrong.
The car is also on what I believe are the original Bridgestone tires, now cupping a little (noisy) and at 3-4/32nds. New P7's have been ordered in the 245 size, which might make the wandering more noticeable.
My question to anybody with the F sport is if you've noticed a similar thing with your car?

Not a hard pull, not unsafe at all. Just feeling it wander occasionally.
And yes, when ruts are parallel it's worse.

After paying closer attention I think it is road dependent. I guess I'm not used to a car that is sensitive to the crown of the road and road imperfections.
I'll hold off any further judgement until I get the Pirelli's on it.

Mine wanders too on crowned or uneven roads.

Mine has done this since day one. One dealer suggested I get it aligned but didn't spot any unusual tire wear. It can be annoying but it's just the character of the chassis in my opinion.
