What's the camber wear on the rcf? I had an is250 and the fronts wear negative cambered and rears were even. Fronts on the is250 only lasted me 12k miles with my driving style and rears 15k. Just wondering if the rcf utilizes the same setup. I know it's a high hp sports car and tires last differently based on the right foot, but how many miles is everyone getting with fronts and rears?

The frustration of many of us is not enough negative camber, so you have nothing to worry about. In fact, if you drive in a spirited fashion often, you'd wear your front tires on the outside first. The rears are spot-on for most of us. A lot of our cars are still too new to need new tires, but you could start a poll asking for tire life, but keep in mind it's entirely dependent on driving style, so not an objective poll by any means. Finally, if you're not going to be pushing the car to its limits, you can install Pilot A/S3s and those would last much longer, and still providing excellent traction in the twisties. Good luck.

Ok thanks for confirming. It is the same setup. The fronts on my is250 also wear out the outside first to increase contact patch while turning. The rears wore out even

That confirms the suspicion Lexus didn't even bother to give a better suspension geometry to their supposed 'sportscar', competing against well established competitors. But what baffles me why the hell give the car what most consider a harsh suspension, and cripple its handling with that suspension geometry? Doesn't make any sense. Hopefully Lexus will learn quicker from now on how to tune a car to get the most out of it. With the weight alone they had a big disadvantage already, but the sad thing is the car could have been much better with half a degree more negative camber at the front. Oh well. Have a great weekend everybody.
