Best tires to replace with for lease return

So my lease is coming up soon on my g37s. I have to get new tires, so I was wondering what people typically bought when they were turning the car back in?

Is there any fine print on the contract dictating this? If not, get some off brand tire, JinYu?

I believe the contract states it needs the same speed rating, size, etc.

I'm pretty sure you only need to have 4 matching tires. It can be any ratings. Just get the cheapest tires available.

If you're going to lease another Infiniti they might work with you on the tire charge.

When you are getting into another lease or purchase after a lease, sometimes the dealer can offer to just buy out the car from Infiniti on your behalf, and then doing a trade in, instead of you turning your leased car in to Infiniti. In this case things like miles, tires etc will not matter as much.

Why get brand new tires. You can get those off brand tires used.

I'd love to get another infiniti but no more 6mt. I'll look at the offbrand, and see what I can get. Any recommendations for purchasing? I usually use tirerack but not sure if there is anything cheaper. Also, do I need to get new TPMS or can I reuse the ones on my tires now?

You can go to some cut rate place like Cheap Tires Online, Discount Prices from tires-easy.com and as long as the size & speed rating match your OEMs you'll be fine. There are some really cheap tires out there, you'll probably be amazed.

has to be the same size and speed rating. The last one I turned it were all brand new patched tires I got for a steal from a tire company I do biz with. They buy them from the dealers and patch them because the dealers cant put patched tires on new cars.

Local tire shops usually sell used tires for cheap , I would look into that before buying new tires

Good luck, the toughest thing to find is that front tire size, not too common, and to find a used set w/ those different sizes might be a hard find.

Where do dealers and lease inspectors typically check tire depth? Center of tire?

Last oil change they listed mine as 5/32 to 7/32 but they are no where near that towards the outsides even with constant rotation and only 27K miles.
