Ive read and heard that abnormal tire wear on 350s is fairly common. Do 250s suffer from the same issue?

it is because the Lexus have the so called dynamic toe changing design in the car. When you brake and turn at the same time, the toe on this car changes and wrong toe kills the tires.
To prevent inner tires wear, you can do the following:
1. Ask the alignment guy to set toes at 0 or super close to 0 for all 4 corners.
2. Replace the soft OEM bushing with Fig #2 poly bushing (more information here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...0-duro-hp.html)
Watch the toe changing here with OEM bushing vs. Fig#2 bushing here

It is normal for sportier cars. The way the tire is angled helps for turning. You ought to never get a true sports car with sport tires, you might get 12k-15k for tires.

I used continental dws on stock 18" rims. Got about 30k on the fronts. The rears still have quite a bit tread left (rear tires wear pretty even), but I'm not so sure how much more I can get out of those since I'm running some 20"s now
P/s: I don't drive like I'm stealing the car tho. Tire wear also depends on your driving style as well...

I have about 13k miles on my IS350 RWD and the stock Bridgestone tires that came with it. Everytime I go somewhere for service, they always point out the inner tire wear on my tires. The guy who did my oil change last time has a 2IS as well and says he changes his tires every 18k miles.

So you are saying you remove the tires from the wheels and install it to the other side? Because that is the only way you can prevent the inner tread wall from balding quickly.
