Hi everyone,

as the title says, I got some very noticeable tire rub when I'm reversing out of my driveway.
If i turn the steering wheel almost all the way in either direction, it starts happening.

I have a 2015 is350 f-sport, just wondering if anyone else has the same issue. I looked up other threads but they were mostly dealing with non-stock tires. Just for reference, my car has 12k km on it.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Are you dropped? If not I'd get it checked, my stock 16 350F can go lock to lock on the wheel totally fine

My 15 350F stock has no problem with that, too.

Crossxup11

No, stock everything. I'm worried about accelerated tire wear.
Will be calling Lexus today.

im dropped on spacers and i can turn lock to lock no problem... you should take it back to the dealer

I have IS300 F-Sport and i think have the similar issue. When i back out of the driveway and turn the steering wheel to full lock either direction i get this light vibration/rubbing sensation/noise from the steering wheel. is this what you're referring to?

Not so much in the steering wheel, more so from the front of the car.

Is it happening when you turn to transition from the driveway to the street?

Could be few things:
no one rotated the rear wheels on the front correct?

tire chatter, happens on other cars at full lock on the front wheels.

I thought I had the same issue you are describing. I took it to the dealer and the tech drove it and said that it was just a same "type" of rubbing noise from the low profile tires sliding on the pavement. Mine is completely stock.

lol @ tires rubbing on the pavement. To clarify it happens only when i'm at full lock and backing out of parking spots or driveways regardless of type of pavement/incline/decline. Like somebody said before i guess it could be normal altho i never had this issue in any of my previous cars in the same setting

the tires skip at full lock happens to a lot of cars

Crossxup11

Can you please explain what that means?

Crossxup11

Yea, as in backing out so the front of the car is facing the direction i'm about to drive.

it's front end geometry. the tires are not in identical positions when turned all the way to lock. it'll do it when going forward too but may not be as noticeable. it's normal on many cars.

the tires are scooting on the pavement (being pushed sideways a bit).
