  1. RXREY, Lexus is monitoring my new Michelins to determine premature wear warranting new struts. Indeed, no one is perfect and as they used to say, that's why they put carpets around spitoons, and warranties on new cars -- even those in the 50k range.
  2. Any problems with your 2006 RX400h suspension? Many owners in this forum have have had premature extreme wear with the original Good Year tires. Lexus blamed the tires (performance, allignment, whatever.) My private mechanic blames the chopping in the trreads to bad struts. My new Michelins at 3000 miles are beginning to show the same chopping. Could there be a design flaw in the automobile. Any info would be most helpful.
  3. Those are $181 ea (plus tax) at CostCo with lifetime rotaion and road hazard here in So Cal. I was told there is no milage warrentee for these type of tires, but the Michelin should go for 50K with the 440 tread wear number. I have had significant tire cupping with Goodyears on my 20,000 mile 400h. Rotated every 5000 miles. The Goodyear dealer blamed the wheel alignment (top of tires tipped in to improve handling). The dealer is checking alignment and is doubtful. Otherwise tire wear is good, but these were never quiet tires! Anyone have similar problems on the RX400h? Me too! My 400h (at 24000 miles) has serious wear (almost down to the belts) and tire cupping on the insides of all four Goodyears. The damage occured within the last 4000 miles since Lexus inspected and certified that the car pass the New York State Inspection at 20000. Glad to see that others also think there is an issue with the suspension -- bad struts -- causing the allignment problem and perhaps affecting the premature wear on the Goodyears. I am awaiting a response from Lexus on how they will deal with the problem.
