Well, That's not how my tire is suppose to look. :\

So, I need new tires.
This is what one of my tires look like and my IS250 is out of commission because i dont wanna risk a blow out.
That BIG *** crack you see is on the inside part of the tire.

I am looking at Pirelli PZERO NERO ALL SEASONS I know Pirelli's are good brands, i Just dont know how they are.. Anyone have any experience with them?

P.S. I currently have Dunlop's & they are not bad at all.

You'll have to get some camber arms and add positive camber if you truly want to fix it. Then get it aligned to dial all the specs in.

Wow, looks like that tire needs to be replaced ASAP. Glad you were able to notice it before it blew out on the road

Also interested how many miles the tire lasted.

I bought the IS250 AWD with 40,000 exactly and i had asked the sales person how long the tires were going to last and he said they would last about 10,000 miles but they ended up lasting 21,000 miles. I dont know how many miles the owner before me used those tires but they lasted me 21,000 miles which aint too bad. Also, 21,000 miles in 1 year 3 months.
