Noticed slight lunge forward when slowly accelerating from a stop.

If I am super careful, I don’t feel it.

Is this normal?

Don’t notice it in my ES.

 

I mean, perhaps in part it’s just the torque of the V8, in comparison with an ES? Does the car do this equally in all drive modes?

 

I notice the same and chalk it up to the 10 speed transmission trying to figure out if to accelerate in whichever gear you might be slowing down to a crawl vs dropping into 1st. Its most often felt, for me, when i come to a crawl at a stop or before turning right at a red light. MY2024

Curious what other folks are experiencing. Thanks.

 

Same here, MY2024 Coupe.

 

Its probably a gear shift or the torque converter locking or both.

 

Any updates on your car from the dealership stuff?

 

The only issue was the humming noise which I figured out was the tires (terrible ******* road noise). Why in the world would Lexus make the greatest GT car ever and then decide to put high performance summer tires that do the exact opposite of what would be acceptable on a GT car on it I will never know. I was going to get Michelin primacy tour A/S tires but called it off after seeing the awful reviews. I'll wait for these to wear down and swap them out for Michelin A/S or cross climates and hope they are quiet. No other complaints. Also might get some WORK 20" wheels so I can have more tire.

All these "issues" would be acceptable or not noticeable to the average LC500 owner on here that garages it and drives it for pleasure but not for the daily driver like me. About to hit 2000 miles on the odometer.

 

Slap an armytrix on it and suddenly road noise from tires goes bye bye. I'm at 13k miles in 11 months, the last 6 with this glorious exhaust

I can vouch for the quietness of the Michelin Cross climate tires. I have them on an ES 350 and they’re excellent overall.The Michelin Pilot All season is probably a higher rated tire with regard to performance parameters. Cross climate is probably a bit better in snow and longer wear as the trade off between them. Can’t imagine you’d go wrong with either.

 

Agree, have the Cross Climates on my NX (just installed) and RXL. No complaints, plus they “look” aggressive so there is that….

 

Cross Climates on an NX, RX, Explorer, Tahoe,, Subaru,, Traverse,, YES, LC500 NOOOOO!

 

Make your case.

 

^^^^

1. Would you want a tire that looks like this on an LC❓



2. They don't come in a size that fits an LC

3. The LC was not designed for such a tire, and handling would be impaired. I guess if you don't care about sharp handling

The LC was not designed for a grand touring tire?

Also the only you can even see what the tires look is if you park it with the wheel cranked to one side or by squatting and squinting your eyes.

 

There is no case. If you want to put tires developed for a SUV or a family sedan on an LC go right ahead. Each person needs to do homework for themselves.
