Today, I went to the dealership for service because my car was pulling right on the freeway. At first I thought the alignment was off, then the service guy told me that because the Dunlop tires has some issues so they are going to order a set of new tires from Bridgestone and replace them for free. The service guy told me there's a serval new IS has this kind of problem... Anybody have the same problem?

which dealer is this?? is it only in texas?? cuz if its a "recall" i want a new tire..

Sewell of Lexus... I don't think its a recall since they didn't do it like the recall on the seat belt.

I wish I could get new tires.... my service advisor keeps telling me that my car is "within specs." Didn't know that changing 3 lanes in a few secs without touching the steering wheel was "within specs" for Lexus.

I'm not sure if they did it with my car but i have the sport package and it came with Bridgestone tires, not dunlops.

I have a IS350 with a May build date that came with the Dunlops, tires are fine - no issues at all. I do recall reading a thread that the early IS had problems with the Dunlops pulling to the right, but it seems like Dunlop fixed the problem with the next batch. If they are going to replace the Dunlops, I'd rather have the Michelin PS2 over the Bridgestones . . .

Purchased my IS last October - have Dunlops, no problems. I actually love the tires.

IS come randomly with dunlops or bridgestones dont think they are because of option packages

I had Dunlops, and they cause problems: Pull and Vibration.

My car is IS250 AWD, with Dunlop SP5000M

Dealer also replaced them with Bridgestone... much happier.

My old IS350 had the pull problem as well after 7K miles with dunlops.

Lindsay Lexus gave me a new pair of Dunlops, and it fixed it.

Yep, got a new set of tires a couple of moths ago due to the same issue. I got Potenzas RE050 Pole Position.
