Hello guys,
On my LS460, I have the rear tires wear faster than the front ones. The pattern is wear similar, so I guess there is no allignment problem in the rear axle, however it does wear pretty fast.
The front are very good ad don't wear even 50% unlike to the rears?
P.S. I never did the tire rotation, could this be a problem?
The car now has 50 000 miles and it is the 3rd set of tires

Yup, that's why.

I would say it's one or a combination of ALL of the below...

1. Not rotating the tires
2. Improper inflation
3. Out of alignment

Rear wheel drive car, I say its to be expected. I have a 2nd car with rear wheel drive, I never rotate the tires on, not worth my time, Tires are like 100 a piece, I just replace after they get damaged or wear out, they may last 30K. The LS well I'll rotate those, part of my Tire package,

Agreed but I am staggered so can't rotate other than side to side. My 22s are less than $600 shipped and I haven't noticed any serious wear at all so I can handle that every 2-3 years at the rate I'm going

I just got back from buying a new set of factory 18" rims and a set of michelins for $450. Figured I have them in stock just in case

$450.......... which truck did those fall off???

Patience and Craigslist. I took my time checking the closest 3 states and drove 2hrs to pick them up. They are like brand new. Sometimes I get lucky. But I have been looking for the past month.

The wife couldn't understand why I need another set of tires and rims. I had to explain that these tires were quieter etc.... But it was still lost on her. Oh well. I really needed the rims as mine were flaking. Got the Michelins as a bonus.

Oh yeah that's right. Staggered look is sweet. Yeah every 2-3 isn't too bad. Wait, is 600 for the whole set? or each

CJITTY

Whole set of 4...search on Delinte D7 Thunder Tires and my user name for more details. 255/30/22 (fronts) 305/25/22 (rears) via Vittore Wheel and Tire website...love these tires

Comparing them to Bridgestone (if you have ever used them) how quiet are they? I'm taking my bridgestones off to switch to Michelins. I'm just thinking as an alternative tire down the road for the factory rims this may be an option?

He said his wear pattern is even so just #1.

Good looking tires! Price wise you can't beat that price!

Sandu

thank you guys for all your thoughts

I wonder, will it be enough to rotate the front tires to the rear and viceversa?

I donțt really like the Lexus Owner's Manual Rotation, the spare tire has a regular Wheel, however the other 4 has chrome wheel and I will be weird driving the car with 3 chrome and 1 alloy wheel ))
