Hi everybody, Just want to know if anyone experience what I’m experiencing. I have a 2016 LX570 , and I experience some vibration of grinding feeling as I get between 70-80mph on the free way. And it has to be between 1800-2000rpm. I feel it on the pedal and alittle on the steering wheel. I don’t hear any weird noises associated with it though.
I would Appreciate any input.

Thanks

Hard to say, but if you are on the 21" wheels there's not much sidewall to absorb the road. Downsizing to 17s or 18s would transform the ride.

I can't see the sense between a very low profil e"P"-rated tire and a 3-ton truck. Ymmv, but I really like 18" wheels and LT E-rated tires most of the year. Winter it's Blizzak's on 18" Tundra take-off's.

Cost savings for Toyota is the only reason unfortunately, as thin P rated tires are much cheaper, greatly compromising the hydroplaning resistance, traction, and ride of the stock vehicles in the showroom.

Thanks for everyone’s input. I will wait till I need new tires and will bring it up during Service.

This vibration you describe is a common problem with the LC200 platform. There is a TSB about it but will cost you an arm and a leg unless
you are still under warranty. It’s a noisy bearing in the transfer case, I haven’t heard any stories of it causing further problems, but yes it’s annoying for such a smooth running car.
