Tire Wear Question

[Shibbs]

Never said I'd bring it to the dealership. I have a mechanic I use who our family has been using for 20 years. He always makes sure everything's done right.

...and that would be just fine.

Lexus is such crap that sometimes they require new components to change alignments tho. hahaha

(Can you tell I work at a Lexus dealership? lol I pretty much love ripping rich people off all day tho!)

Ugh. I can't stand Lexus owners. They're so pompous and think they're better than you. I once got in a fight with a Lexus owner when I said, truthfully, that Lexus is just a rebadged Toyota.

and don't get me started on Honda, Nissan, and VW owners.

i'm a vw person.. a long with a quite a few others.

lexus feeds their customer pompousness though, our local lexus dealers have free day spa services while you get your vehicle serviced.

Imagine being a Lexus owner and buying a $60,000 car and having the inside of all four tires worn down to the belts at TEN THOUSAND MILES. Don't like it? Get used to it, unless you spend $1400 on Michelin tires. THEN they'll last MAYBE 20,000 miles.

my $45k audi, and $38k audi both did that, every 10k miles... this is what turned me to using "cheap" performance tires. they would last at least the 10k miles of tires 2-5x their price.

Agreed. I have had outstanding luck with NEXEN tires. Also Riken.

All I'm gona say is today there are no 'bad' cars, just a lemon here and there or a manufacture defect every so oftem...

I am now on my third set of front tires and I am 74000 miles. Personally I think the suspension and mcphearson suspensions is worth about a hill of beans. My second set of tires could have last longer but the struts gave out. I have a three year contract for alighments and they would not even do the last alignment because the struts gave out. Now I am waiting on the cash and get some coilover shocks. Then I will have a setup that will work better for tires and speed.
