Can you guys educate me on the tires? Never had a vehicle with different size rear tires and being unable to rotate. I expect to replace stock tires with Michelins but not sure what is expected tread wear or not rotated if affects warranty.
Only had a couple days and bought some all weather Lexus floor mats and tinted windows/windshield with ceramic tint.
Plan on changing oil/filter and rear differential at 1000 miles to get rid of any break in metal. Overkill probably but old habits die hard on things that have worked for me over the years.

head's up, you will have front inner wear quicker with oem set up. a popular fix is to replace the lca bushings. most affordable would be to upgrade to rcf/gsf parts. best would be to upgrade to poly bushings offered by a couple of companies. there are multiple threads about this. i personally went with RR Racing USRS Road ver
and why do ppl worry about warranty when it comes to tires? unless you are a crazy driver, tires will get worn as normal.

The IS has inner wear issues, but im about to hit 10k miles and mine are wearing great. I guess your mileage may vary.

Anyone have advice on jacking up replace rear diff fluid? I plan on using rhino ramps to drive front up for oil change.
Very little clearance for rear and expecting it may need to be on jack stands level all 4 corners. I am assuming pretty straight forward. Remove fill bolt, remove drain and let it empty. Replace drain with new crush washer and fill until drips out fill.
I wish that I had confidence in letting dealership do it. I hear so many horror stories on sloppy work done poorly. Or worse yet stuff like differential bolt not torqued down and falling out grenading the diff.
