#137 of 154 Tire Wear by drvegas Sep 08, 2009 (3:54 pm)
Help I need some help from my fellow LS460 owners. I have a 2007 LS460, last year almost to the day I had to replace all 4 tires at 20,000 miles - the tires were shredding with steel belts visible. I replaced them with Michelens and after one year and only 12K miles the tires are badly worn on the inside vs the outside and badly cupped. Both time my dealer (Lexus of Las Vegas) tells me that this is normal. This is my wife's car, she literally drives the kids to school and back etc and an occasional road trip. We are all careful drivers. I have never heard of this before - I cannot be replacing tires every year nor can I relax with the kids in the car should a tire fail. I think there is something wrong with the car, the dealer of course blames the tires. Any thoughts?

Replying to: drvegas (Sep 08, 2009 3:54 pm) Sounds like they are out of balance or could be alignment.   My '07 460 has 16K and the tires look like crap. Thank goodness I am getting the '10 AWD when it arrives so I don't have to replace them.   Oh, I also change out to snows in the winter.   I guess Lexus uses crappy tires................bargain prices for an expensive auto.

Replying to: drvegas (Sep 08, 2009 3:54 pm) Something is wrong with your car. This should not be happening. I have a '08 460 with 25,000 miles, and still have plenty rubber to spare. Should get at least another 10 or 15,000 miles. The brand is Bridgestone Turanza; what was your first set?

Replying to: drvegas (Sep 08, 2009 3:54 pm) For what it's worth, I just got my 20,000 mile service (on an '08 LS460L) and they told me the tires are worn out on the inside, indicating the wheels are out of alignment. At the 15,000 mile service they gave me no indication of anything being wrong. I'm planning on getting new tires from the local Firestone Tire Station (Bridgestone Turanza's).

Replying to: doctorjim123 (Sep 02, 2009 1:21 pm) We have the same problem with our LS460 not starting. It is an intermittent problem that only happens after sitting outside for 6 hours or more. Been to the dealer once, but they couldn't find anything wrong. I'm scheduled to return it tomorrow and told them to leave it outside in the sun for 6 hours. Unfortunately, we had a cold front come through so I may cancel it. It only happens on hot days. Please keep posted if you find problem. I would think Lexus would have some kind of data base on this.
#142 of 154 Harsh ride by kenalex Nov 12, 2009 (1:30 pm)
It seems I am the only person in the world who has a harsh ride problem in my 460.   The ride is noisy with definite thumps and front transmission noises which I would not expect.   The ride is harsh, as if the air ride is not working.   My sons 4wd Ford is smoother over similar roads.   The dealer says its tires. "Low profile are always noisy etc."   Any help would be appreciated Replies to this message: dcwalker (Nov 12, 2009 1:43 pm)

Replying to: kenalex (Nov 12, 2009 1:30 pm) Factory tires are horrible. Mine had the same issue. Went to a softer ride Michelin. Much nicer ride but suffers slightly on handling. Worth the change. Try the Michelin Pilot HX MXM 4

Solved the problem.   Went to Audi A8L.
#145 of 154 kenb by kenbrody1 Nov 18, 2009 (1:19 pm)
I am in the LA area and seriously considering buying Lexus LS460 year 2009 or 2010   Any advice on where i can get the "best purchase pricing" or maybe best lease terms, be it a web based source, a regular Lexus dealer, a car broker, a out of state dealer or whatever etc?   Any advice on whether to buy the 2009 or the 2010.? I tend to keep my cars for 8 years or more and even on a lease would tend to buy outright at end of 3 or4 or 5 years and then keep for a while Replies to this message: dcwalker (Nov 18, 2009 3:29 pm) kenbrody1 (Nov 18, 2009 4:57 pm) dcwalker (Nov 18, 2009 6:13 pm) mdxfan3 (Nov 20, 2009 2:23 pm) garyh1 (Nov 28, 2009 10:19 pm) and 1 more...
