Default Surrendering Leased AR .. Will Dealer demand new tires ???

I was wondering if the dealer will ask you to replace tires if they are somewhat worn out when you return the leased vehicle.

Anyone with this experience?

I am a few months away from returning my leased AR and was wondering whether I should replace my front tires or not.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Default Re: Will Dealer demand new tires ??? In a word: Yes.

And every ding, scratch, dead bug, foul odor, leather crease, burnt bulb, and undercarriage gravel cleaned, fixed, replaced and/or renewed.
Aaaahhhh...the joys of leasing...

Default don't have the dealer inspect it.

Dealers generally pocket what they can when it comes to minor wear and tear items.

Let AoA lease inspectiion do it. They are very lenient and come to your home or office at no cost to you.

your lease calls for a minimum tread depth, if you aren't below that you won't need to replace.

Default Second

When I surrendered my VW, they came to my location. They give you a list of anything outside of normal wear and tear. They were quick too, they came to me within a day of me contacting them.

Looks like I'm late with the offer, but I have free OEM Pirellis with 4-5/32 tread - legal enough.
