Some Lexus IS300 owners report experiencing issues with bald front tires and worn front brake pads, which can compromise vehicle safety. Many attribute uneven tire wear to improper tire pressure, leading to balding that may require inspection by a Lexus dealership to identify the underlying cause. Owners often find that tires worn on the inner and outer edges suggest under-inflation, while center wear indicates over-inflation. Additionally, some owners note that worn brake pads can result in decreased braking performance, increasing the risk of skidding in wet conditions. To mitigate these risks, regular brake inspections are recommended every 3 months or 3,000 miles. Neglecting tire maintenance can exacerbate the problem, as driving on unaligned, underinflated, or unbalanced tires can lead to bald tires. Recognizing signs of wear, such as visible wear bars, is crucial for timely replacement to ensure safety and optimal performance.
