i had bridgestone potenzas which were failry quiet until aboiut 15k miles, then they started to get very loud. by about 28k, they were extremely loud, and i was disappointing. i had a problem with one tire that neded to be replaced and so i bought a set of yokohama avid w4s. SIGNIFICANTLY less noise. i am much happier now.

I have a similar problem on my 08 IS250 RWD. I hear a metal creaking noise from the driver side front when making slow and sharp right turns. I've brought this up with the dealer twice. Every time, they retightened the front suspension and put some lube on it, and the noise would go away for a month. Then it would come back. Since it's not that bad and doesn't seem to affect how it drives, I've come to ignore the noise. Please post if anyone knows of a permanent fix. It is disappointing for a new, high end car to have this kind of recurring problem, especially one that claims to be one of the most reliable.

ALL the factory GPS have at least one drawback. The IS250 is a lot more fuel efficient than the G35 so don't feel too bad about not geting the G.

Sorry for not posting a follow up to my post. Yes the noise is gone. Over 1K miles with no popping sound. The dealer said they took one suspension piece off my car and put it on a loaner car until they eliminated the suspension. After everything was tested and my car was still making the popping sound they discovered it was the nut that held the engine mount. Two months in the shop for a nut....

Yes - there is a recall on IS floor mats. My belief is that it is a recall of the carpet floors mats, and not the Lexus rubber ones which "hook" to the floor. I understand that there has been at least once accident where the carpet floor mat was pushed up under the accelerator pedal and caused the driver to loose control. A friend with an IS250 took her car in for service tnad the dealer removed the floor(s) from her car while it was in. That being siad, I havenot received a formal ecall notice yet and am not sure what Lexus plans on replacing them with.
