Go ahead and send them an email about it. Heck you can use the info from the one I sent (see a few posts up) as a starting point. Just go here and register https://auth.owners.lexus.com/lexuso...sl/OwnersLogin then contact them through it. They tend to respond faster if you are a registered owner. Either way, get in touch with them.

I think majority of Lexus customers are not performance oriented and performance alignment spec at the expense of tire life might be not ideal for their business model and/or target customer. Again, brake pad TSIB can be good reference.

This issues really boils down to the toe-out spec. It can be addressed by someone that has alignment experience, not just someone that reads computer specs. This is a performance sedan, and I really don't mind the break dust at all. About the tire wear, I just opted and got tires that are non-directional so I can get the most life out of them. Nitto Invos do just that. And so far they look good.

Damn gemini1, how many miles did you have on the tires, once they start looking tender it's a no go, wow! I was scared once I started seeing the inner rubber and you could tell it was about to give. Good thing Discount Tire gave me loaners while my order arrived. Highly recommend those guys! North Hollywood. Well glad you're ok, get yourself a set of non-directional tires so you can flip them and you can have a longer tire life-span, just give Cyrus a call. JC Auto House, they'll fix up your toe.

I also have inner tire wear issues. My problem is my car's a lease and I want to get rid of it soon but don't want to get charged for tires from Lexus Financial Services.
I called 800-25-LEXUS to complain and got the same "the IS is a sport sedan" response but after I pushed a little they asked me to go into my local dealer to have them look at my tires.
I was standing in the service drive with the service manager when we saw two other IS's pulling away and you could plainly see the inner tire wear on them.
I called back to Lexus and after they spoke with the dealership, Lexus decided to give me two complimentary tires.
Now I just have to see what the dealership is going to charge me for the other two tires plus labor and all the rest of it.
Wish me luck fellas.
