NO tires at the dealership
We own the IS350 Fsport, and love the car. Just a couple of days ago, the tire pressure gauge came on, and sure it enough...nail stuck in the passenger rear tire.
Took it in to Lexus thinking it can get plug-up, and it would be a quick fix. Turn out, the nail was too close to the side and I would have to purchase a new tire. I was ok with that, however Orange Park Lexus did not have the tire in stock!!! Really!!! C'mon Lexus. A brand new car and the Lexus dealer does not have the tire in stock!!!!!! They don't even know how long it would take them to order the tire.
I was very disappointed. What do you guys think>

I had to have them order my touch up paint as they didn't have it in stock for my color, so not surprising considering it's a new model. Even other folks asking for car mats, the dealers don't have. It's just the way it is.
If you will have to wait, I'd suggest tirerack.com and save a few bucks. What tire do you have?

I checked discount tire and a few other online sites including Ebay, and nowhere to be found.
Can you confirm you have the Turanza ER33?

They didn't have it at discount tires and the dealership, I had to get mine special ordered. And when the tire came in, they ordered the wrong size. 255/40 is what they ordered, supposed to be 35. Now I have to wait another few days because they don't have it in there system so they have to call bridgestone and try to find it.

Really!!!! WOW...what happened to attention to details! Seems like the Lexus dealer aren't as sharp as they use to. I hope thats not the case.

That's what I thought and unfortunately, only the 40-series are to be found anywhere I checked online. So to be clear, this is a supplier (Bridgestone) issue to its vendors/partners versus Lexus' fault.
Did the dealer provide you a lead time on the tire order and can you wait for it?
If not, you may have no choice but buy another model and I'd stick with either of these two Bridgestone tires at about 180$, which are superior to the ER33s. In the interim, have the dealer order or wait for the ER33 to be available to the public. Then put back the ER33 on your rim and keep the one you bought on tirerack as a spare.
If you really are up to it, change all four ER33s (again very poor tire), and buy either of the highly-rated Potenzas for about 800$ for all four. You'll also get at least double the wear (340 or 280 vs 140)

I would love to get a whole new set. I just don't have that kind of cash to cough up right now for all 4 tires. I guess I will just have to wait, and hope Lexus will order me the right tire size.
By the way, which one would you prefer? RE760 or S-04?

A ballpark tire logevity is about 10k miles per every 100 rating under normal driving. So plan on replacing the the ER33s at about only 14k miles and the RE760 ~34k miles.
Good luck

Oh geez. I just bought the road hazard road hazard warranty at Discount Tire for these tires and paid $155. The dealership wanted $500 for the wheels and tires. Forget that....
