Default Advice On Buying Tires Just Before End Of Lease

Just as the thread title states, I'm coming off my lease in a few months. Current state is, rear tires at warning bars 2/32nds and the fronts have 4/32nds. I took a look at Craigslist, no luck. My F Type is a MY 17 R with staggered 20" Pirelli's. I know there's no simple answer however, I have my fingers crossed that someone out there may have a suggestion that I overlooked.

Thanks in advance...

Dave

I guess you'd have to check the minimum tread for lease return without penalty but you'd get some part worn tires for cheap on eBay,

Would you be willing to make a road trip to the SF East Bay area? maybe we can make a deal? I have a set of original Pirelli's on my 2014 V8S, would be the same size as yours, with 4430 miles on them. Don't make fun of me for the mileage, I had cancer right after I bought the car that almost killed me and just recently getting make to normal. Anyway the tires are in great shape no track time or burn outs just getting old but you wouldn't care so much about that and I want to upgrade to 305/265 MP4s. If you want to make a road trip, I could order my tires and we could meet up at my house or the tire shop (these guys are excellent) and change tires?

Fedex Ground would be fairly cheap. You don’t even have to box them up. Just slap on an address label.
