High Speed Vibration
#18
One wheel does have a slight wobble but it's so small the techs do not believe that is the issue. I'm more inclined to believe it's the tires. The car was aligned by an indy and had chopped tire wear. Recently got it done at the dealer. Maybe it will smotth out after a while. It's been about 200 miles since the alignment. I would think that was enough. Maybe not.
Today it was much smoother. Infact, I was on the phone and lost concentration on the speed. I got off the phone and noticed I was driving 80 and it was pretty smooth.

I think the torque spec is 80-85 i run mine bettween 90-95, Ice it could definitely be the tire I had a slight vibration on the rear vredestines i had on the Vossen wheels caused by having a tittie in it, and it think I have another slight bubble in my new Nankangs but this is why i decided to go with cheaper tires cause running a stretched tire (i know your not) exposes the sidewall more and is more vunerable to getting bubbles in the sidewall, also if you have any of your tires plugged for leaks, plugging can cause breaks in the belts causin the tire to roll outta whack. this is the reason I will be getting a enclosed trailer soon so I can tow the Lexus to out of state or long distance functions. the Tundra will eat whatever the road throws at her especially when I throw my 20 inch Monsters w/ 33inch tires on her!!!

yes, factory spec is 76ft-lb. but if you have aftermarket wheels, the number of turns on the lug nuts are usually less than what you can do on factory. with that, i usually up the tq to 85
tighter doesn't mean you get less vibration. and also remember to tighten them, drive a bit, and recheck the tq again. sometimes it can get a little loose
