“I have a 2006 Lexus gs 430 with 17500 miles. When rotating tires at 8000 miles I noticed unusual wear on the inside edge of the front tires. I had the dealership check the alignment. At 17000 miles the wear on the inside edge continued and was a serious safety risk. The wear is difficult to see as it is on the inside edge of the tire and only noticeable with the tire removed on wheel turned full left or right. The wear resembles a groove or channel wearing on the inside edge of the contact patch on the tire. Discount tire inspected the tires and concluded camber wear. …”
NHTSA complaint #10250810, filed 2008-12, 17,000 miles“Premature tire wear on 2006 Lexus GS430. Inside shoulder of each tire prematurely wears in a scalloping fashion. Dealership is aware of the issue, says it is due to the sport suspension and it happens on all their sporty models. Dealership concedes that proper rotation, balance and alignment maintenance does not correct the issue. I was told by the dealership that 20,000 miles on any tire is what should be the expected tire life. Therefore there seems to be no correction for the failure offered, at anyone's expense. …”
