Thanks for all the comments. My car has 60,000 miles on it. I rotated the previous set of tires and ended up with all 4 cupped on the outside edge. I replaced those Yokohama tires, not because they were completely worn, but because they were so noisy. They were replaced after about 30,000 miles.

The front tires on my 95' LS400 are wearing on the outside edge. The wear is not due to fast cornering because the car is driven easy. The wear is slightly cupped, not smooth. No other abnormal wear on the rest of the tire. This has happened on a set of Yokohama and Michelin tires. The dealer has checked the suspension and alignment. They say all is OK. I have never had this with any car or tire I have owned.

There was probably still some fluid in the rack. Lexus does not show any recommendation in the manual for changing the fluid. I even checked with the dealer. You shoud flush it again, and at least every oil change suck out the fluid you can get in the reservoir. That is what I do in my LS400 and my Mercedes.

I would like to buy a factory service manual for my 1995 LS400. Does anyone know a source that sells them for less than the $200 the dealer wants?
