I'm pretty much in the same spot with having to get new tires for my 06 gs300 with only 13,500miles on it, and its a leased car. Talk about excessive use, Lexus should flip the bill for the tires I would also like some recommendations on new rubber...

Hello to all, New guy here and found your site very educational. Athough I don't get to drive my wifes GS300 to often (I'm stuck with the 00' expedition) I do enjoy it when I do drive it. This is the problem with the 06 GS300, it has the original Yokohama Advan tires and the car only has apx 13,500 miles on it and yes the tires are nearly bald. The car has a serious handling problem where it feels like the car is going in every direction but the way you point it. probably due to being very low tread. I do have an appointment next week for the dealer to take a look but figured i can get some quick advice from here. Does this premature wear seem normal with these tires or even a common thing and should the dealer be reposible with the replacements I mean you would think we should get atleast 20k miles from new tires that come equipped on a $50k car???? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
