My 335i that will be arriving soon will be under a 36000 mile lease. I realize that I have to replace the RFTs at lease end, unless the tread isn't too bad. I'm assuming that after 36000 miles, they're going to want new ones. So given the rather high probability of replacement, I was curious if anyone else agrees that it would be a wise move on my part to change to a new set of non-RFTs (i.e. less expensive, and better performance) early on. Then when it's closer to the time of lease end, I can just swap back to the fresh RFTs. I'm not in the position right now to just drop money on tires and rims left and right, but given that replacement is inevitable, I think doing it early is smarter.
Has an anyone else done this? Any problems with this idea? Thanks!
