Front Tire Vibration on Lexus IS250:
I am experiencing front tire vibration in my new IS250. I travel a lot for my job (40,000 - 50,000 / year) and I'm experiencing extreme tire vibration in my front tires.
Here are the facts:
-I have 30,000 miles on my car now
-I have Bridgestone Potenzas on my car
-Local Bridgestone dealers are blaming this on suspension(saying that cupping is occuring due to suspension)
-Lexus dealer is saying that tires should get approximately 15K miles before replacing
-the tread is good shape (plenty of tread on the tires)
-The majority of my miles are highway miles
-The tires are balanced properly
Let me know if anyone else is experiencing this.
Thanks for the input.

My vibration is definitely the tires. I just don't know if the car is causing the tires to vibrate or what .
I can only feel the vibration when I reach +45 MPH and it lasts until I drop below 45 MPH.
As mentioned before, the tire dealer is saying that the front tires are cupping due to the suspension, but I don't feel like Lexus would make a care that couldn't get at Least 20,000 miles out of a set of tires. There is plenty of tread on the tires that should last another 10 - 15,000 miles, but becuase of the vibration i am having to replace them.
Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

I was thinking the same thing except it was a gradual vibration that kept getting worse.
I was also thinking is was the tire weights that were off, but the Bridgestone reps confirmed that it wasn't.
Anyone else experiencing this????????????????
Thanks

Thanks for the input guys!
My local Lexus dealer (Hendricks, Charlotte, NC) made me whole. They are a great dealership to work with.
I was just wandering if this was a factory problem, but I am seeing that it clearly isn't.
I personally think it was the weights in the tires.
