vm300is Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Hi folks, I need to catch up some good advice... well, the alignment was off.. for a ??? while... a long time I guess... a alignment inspection today shown that the front total toe is -0.18 degree (Specified is -0.10 deg) Well.. anyway.. I took pictures from the front... as you can see the front passenger side and front driver side... the inside thread worn out quicker than the outside... Just from the pictures, how many more miles can I ride these tires on?? (ok.. so this bad worn out only happens to the front tires... of my IS300 2002). Thanks advice.....

SW03ES Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 None, those tires need to be replaced immediately. I personally believe in always replacing tires in sets of fours, but if your budget is tight and the rears are okay you can always just replace the fronts. Remember to always put the new tires on the rear axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwagonmd Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 yea same thing happened to me, I also found out that 3 of my rims were bent when they balanced them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vm300is Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 I took the car to Lexus dealership/service for oil change every 5000mi and I am now wondering why didn't the service folk even give me a feedback on the tire wear issue... The last time it was performed an oil change at 25,000mi so I am quite disappointed with the service center/dealership at my area...

SW03ES Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Well they don't check the alignment... Really and truly this is the sort of thing you as the car owner should be monitoring yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
