Default Instability after 169km/h

Hello,

I would like a recommendation or explanation for my Lexus es300h. 2019

At a speed of over 160 km/h, the car has a very smooth movement, but I feel an instability.

I disabled all assist lines and it does the same. The feeling is that the wind is beating or turbulent.

Has anyone experienced the same?

Any advice is welcome🙏

Where are you feeling this? Through the steering wheel, the seat, the pedals, the floorboard or structure? You might have a tire that is failing, such as internal tread separation.

Am inlocuit anvelopele cu unele noi.

Se simte la nivel de masina. Este un efect pe care il simti cant treci pe langa un tir. Doar ca este mult mai lin.

"O plutire", instabilitate, Nu trebuie sa coerctrezi din volan directia.

Am verificat si telescoaple prin test autorizat.

Your original post was written in English and the reply attempting to help you was also in English so why did you switch language?

Roughly translated:

"I replaced the tires with new ones.

It feels at the level of the car. It's an effect you feel when you pass a shot. It's just much smoother.

"A float", instability, You don't have to correct the direction from the steering wheel.

I also checked the telescopes through an authorized test."

It sounds like you need new shocks.

Would you describe the instability as a gentle swaying, infrequent or predictable, different roads or types of surfaces? Did this come about suddenly or over a period of time? Any information would be helpful.

Oh and history of car if it has been wrecked or recent suspension stress, repairs or damage lately which might be helpful.

Razvanlxs has a profile that says he is in RO* (Romania). The motorway speed limit in RO is 130 km/h** (81 mph). Probably few Lexus owners have enough experience driving at 169 km/h (105 mph) to answer the original question, "Has anyone experienced the same?" There was a recent police dashcam video on Youtube*** that showed a Lexus going even faster in Arkansas, but that did not end well.

* Romania country code according to ISO standard, Abbreviation / Code (laendercode.net)

** Driving in Romania | RAC Drive

Perfect words to describe this movement : "the instability as a gentle swaying infrequent " just on high way. This situation is from beginig that i bought from 43000 km.

At what speed does the swaying or sashaying begin? Does it feel like a dance partner who has no rhythm or more like an inebriated ant smasher stomping like mad?

If you are going to be going over 80mph frequently, it is HIGHLY recommend you get your tires balanced with road force so they force match them. WORLD of difference.
