so there has been a lot written about the dreaded potenza run-craps. I need to get rid of mine. At 4000 careful miles, I have a different problem as well, though. My car shimmies, and the dealer just told me the reason is all 4 wheels are bent. I live near Boston where the potholes are legendary, and I just don't think i can keep such low profile tires on this car without ongoing wheel damage.
Is there a 17" wheel alternative for this car? Does someone make one that looks good? where would i find it?
I'll spend some money, though I've already spent $2500 on 18" wheels and snow tires, since the run-craps were sheer terror in the snow. It really ought to be illegal to sell a car with these wheels/tires in the snow zone?
and how do you order the spare tire kit? the lexus dealer told me today that none exists.
Thanks.
