Thanks for the reply. I thought it is a problem not only for me but general problems with ES330. In following link, http://www.servcolexus.com/Distributor/Lex...&view=specs [5] Tires fitted with 17-in wheels are expected to experience greater tire wear than conventional tires. Tire life may be substantially less than 20,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. For Camry, it shows the same http://www.cardata.com/Brochures/Toyota%20Camry.pdf [5] Performance tires are expected to experience greater tire wear than conventional tires. Tire life may be less than 24,000 miles, depending upon driving conditions. (PAGE 16) If you're saying it depends on brands, I'd like to know which tires generally give longer life. Can anyone share the information on P215/55R17 tires (for ES330) in general? Thanks,

I just found that 17" wheel (P215/55R17) tires wear out so quickly, and they usually say its life time is around 20K miles. I feel like this is too ridiculous since I don't have to worry about tires for other cars whose life cycle is around 60K miles typically. All other ES330 owners who has 17" wheels have a similar life cycle of tire (20K miles)? How many really considered to change it to 16" wheel (which may cost a lot for rim?)? kryong

Hm.. It seems like they finally recognized the problem "officially", and looking into the problem internally. Hopefully, they would solve/propose a solution. http://www.pittsburghpostgazette.com/pg/04345/424551.stm
