Tires on lease return

JCMTL · 11-08-2015, 07:19 AM

Hey guys, has anyone returned their lease with non run flat tires installed? Is it required by BMW?

I'm picking up a new 335 MPE with 20" summer tires (first BMW) on 405s which I know won't last me more than 2 seasons (I have separate winters) and will have to invest in a new set of summers anyway.

Hearing from other members RFTs are harsh, expensive & generally useless, if the car has to be brought back with the RFTs, should I simply buy the new set (non RFT) and use them right away, and keep the originals for the end?

Thoughts / Opinions?

Use the RF for now .. at least get your $ worth with perhaps 10,000km and then switch over to non RF. So during that period of time, you can save up and it won't hurt so much in your wallet.

I bought Michelin PSS for the summer and have a set of winters. The RFTs are in the garage and will go back when the car is returned.
