That is an issue with the IS but this is more severe than just the inner tire wear issue.

Yeah I haven't had the best of experiences.

Watch your tires folks every 3-5k otherwise one day you'll have a blowout like me.

Default I have same issue. 2015 IS350F

Within a year the tires wore out I thought no biggie and replaced em.
They wore out. Replaced em again.

Now I'm on my third set and even after wheel balancing this happened after 14,000.00 miles from third set fresh (third set put on at 65000 and I've attached notes taken by dealer at 65000). Current miles at 69000.

I do not drive aggressively or race my car. I heard some conversations about control arm.

Anyone willing to guess ?






Mine are the same. 2015 IS350F

WOw, mine is not that bad, you guys drive like this? That long? My front is worn both inner and outer but not much and I felt the car wobbling, I replaced RRACING LCA for months now and it seems to fix the issue. the RRACING LCA makes me Lexus RC350 feel like driving an M2 BMW M-performance.
This issue did not happen with my IS350 3rd gen, I'm trying to figure out how and why this happened on my RC350 but not IS350.

He could have gotten a pair for OEM RC-F LCA bushings for 140-150 bucks. Installing them would be easy.
