Figs and RR racing have a LCA bushing that eliminate the inner tire wear.

I am in awe that you guys are getting so many miles out of the PSS. These track days must really burn them up. I do 1-2 track days and I am down to the indicators in the rear at 8k. My fronts I usually just donate to the tire Gods as they usually have about 35% of the tread life left but with uneven wear. I dont like replacing just the rears or the just fronts. I prefer to do fresh sets. I am hoping with the new RR Racing USRS it will allow me to get some more life out of the front. I am probably going to reduce my track work from 6 a year to maybe 2-3 a year. I want to put some wheels on my car and dress her up a little . Hopefully wider tires will take the abuse a little better. Not sure

My rears are identical to your fronts. My front tires are wearing perfectly, they still have tons of miles left. The rears are at 4/32. They're Toyo Proxes 4 Plus factory sizes. They came with my F in January, I can't recall if new. The tech at my dealership said even though the wear is in the inside of the tire, he confirmed it was wearing normally and assured me everything was set to factory standards. I'm looking forward to PPS with a wider setup for more grip,

It's wrong we're not warned to flip tires!

Lexus should warranty all such premature wear.
How often are you getting your tires aligned? Also, read it helps to get your Toe as close as possible to 0
