Replying to: jon75 (Nov 06, 2008 12:55 am) If the ticking noise is unbearable, then I will. My 07GS350 AWD has a run flat tires. I don't know if it's the tires or not. It happens very time when I let my foot off the gas pedal at speed 65 mph. The speed slowly gets to the 60 mph, then I hear a gentle whistling sound from the front wheels. The sound goes away when speed goes below 55 OR if I keep my foot on the gas pedal and keep the speed steady at 60 mph. Does anyone experience the same thing?

| As regards the run flat tires, I have owned/driven two cars with them and both were noisy, embarrassingly so. In each instance, they were relatively quiet for the first few thousand miles, then got progressively worse. They [run flats] don't provide much feedback from the road either. | |
| I had serious pulling issues on uneven roads with the run flat tires on my GS350. The dealer replaced them with Michelin all season tires and the issue cleared up. Great tires, and I am now a fan of Michelin tires. | |

| Run flat tires are a good idea for the future but are not yet ready for prime time; based on my experience with two run flat tire equipped cars. | |

Replying to: datrib (Nov 15, 2008 8:07 pm) back again. Indeed, it did. I had to disable the mirror up/down feature in back-up mode. I didn't want the mirror stopped at the lowest position which I couldn't see anything, It took more than a month for the assembly to arrive. My service dealer did a great job of replacing it, puting back Simonize & 3M. On the mirror issue, if your car has a VIN number less than 8xxx, the inner rear mirror could vibrate when you have the moonroof opened at high speed. I can see why it happens. Unlike other cars I have, my 07GS350AWD rear mirror is a bit shaky. A strong wind could vibrate the mirror. There is a TSB for this issue. Will confirm this vibration problem on a warm sunny day before calling dealer. |

Last winter I had no problems with my brakes however, this winter my brakes squeal horribly in the cold weather . I had it in a few weeks ago and they said Lexus is aware of the problem but they offered no solution. Has anyone else had this issue? Were they able to solve it? It's embarassing to drive such a beautiful, expensive car and pull up to the stoplight and have people stare beacuse of the squealing.
