Default IS350 Fsport AWD rear tires bald after alignment is off

***update my Toe measurement was off real bad on the left rear by .40 this caused both to wear very quickly/prematurely, only had the car for 6 months! not noticeable didnt pull or drift to one side or the other. expensive lesson (then again who gets their alignment checked every 3 months??)


I have 18k miles on my AWD Fsport. Brought it in for shake at highway speeds around 70-80. Dealer called and said steel belts are showing on REAR tires on my ALL Wheel Drive. Anyone else wear thru this fast on the rear? My mileage is 2/3 highway. Suggestions for replacement? Went Hankook Ventus V12s on my 2IS and fronts would wear much faster...

Thanks!

There another post that Hankook Ventus V12s are on sale now because they are being discontinued. I bought the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 as my replacements, the reviews were better and I found a really sweet price on Ebay brand new. They probably "fell off" a truck but I'm giving the seller the benefit of the doubt.

Was your tires warrantied at all?

My front driver's side tire is showing its steel belt now and I feel it's not right these tires wear so quickly!

Please take a look at my thread:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ment-help.html

Note the last post with a link to identical problems with the last generation IS.

THIS IS NOT ADDING UP; this is not our fault.

Very upset.
