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.

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
