  1. I bought my IS200 in November from Lexus Manchester with 13k on the clock and noted that it had two new front tyres fitted as part of the standard RAC inspection. (Bridgestone Potenza 215/45 ZR17). the car has now done 21k

    I'm new to the Forum and am (now) quite worried on 2 counts:

    1. I'm taking my car in for a 20k service to Lexus Manchester this Friday, 16 May and the reviews don't fill me with much confidence.

    2. The main reason its going in is that the inside shoulder on the two fronts are down to the canvas, with circa 5mm on the outside shoulder.

    I'm complaining that the tracking was clearly not correct when I purchased the car and therefore they should bear the cost of 2 new front tyres, especially when it looks like I've burnt >1mm per 1000 miles due to the incorrect tracking.

    They have offered me a geometry check as part of the service and said they will see about the tyre position but have also stated that hitting a pothole or a kerb can force the tracking out on both wheels.

    Surely I must have hit the pothole (not that I remember) in the very early days of ownership to get such a high rate of wear? and surely the benefit of the doubt should be given especially as it had two new tyres at 13k miles.

    I doubt I'm going to win this argument but would welcome other views

    many thanks,

    Mark
