I bought this 2005 LS430 in December with 35,000 miles on it, and found that there was vibration in the steering wheel.
Took it to my dealer Nalley Lexus for balance and one of the Michelin Primacy 225/55R17 tires could not be balanced--they took tire off rim to R/O loose material inside it but found none. Rebalance not possible. But they found a new Dunlop 5000 on the spare in trunk and balanced easily placed in position R Rear and the Michelin is now in trunk as the spare. The car rides smooth and W/O noise now!
Has any one had a Michelin balance problem or am I dealing with a service group that cannot get it right?
