THE PROBLEM THAT MANY IS250 LEXUS OWNERS ARE HAVING WITH THE FRONT TIRES WEARING OUT OR TEARING FROM THE INSIDE. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE ISSUE IS THE SUSPENSION WHERE THE FRONT TIRE AND A COTTER PIN MEET EVERY TIME YOU HIT A BUMP OR POT HOLE. THIS HAS CAUSED GREAT DAMAGE TO BOTH FRONT TIRES TO THE EXTENT WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE STEEL BELT. LEXUS HAS GONE AS FAR AS TO BLAME THE TIRE MANUFACTURE AND HAS NOT TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. I ASK THAT THIS ISSUE BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE A LIFE IS LOST DUE TO NEGLIGENCE.

pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the
