i have kept a car for the entire lease for a long tme. but i am convinced that my cayenne GTS is the one!! at least i am trying to think that way and told my wife that.
i now have 17K miles and i know the OEM tires will come to an end in near future. i can replace the tires when needed and will likely replace it again before i turn in the lease. but my math tells me i should just take the OEM out and get after market wheels. i will then put the OEM back when i return the car. number wise i won't spend much more especially if i sell the after market after.
but this will only work if i take out the OEM before it's too late and let porsche charge me 4 new tires. so the question is how much do i have to leave the tires with? thanks.

Getting aftermarket wheels for a leased car is probably not cost effective. Guessing that you have 2 years left to go on the lease and custom wheels bring 50 % resale value, this could cost you around $1000 per year to look good.
Replace the tires, when worn, with performance tires for the time in which you will use the car.
Assume that the tires, at turnover, have to have the minimum tread depth and no obvious defects, such as dry rot and sidewall damage, that will pass state inspection. If they don't pass muster, get some used tires or cheap new wheel protectors, as needed.

i have applied this same theory several times in the past on leased vehicles. you are correct that it comes down to 1 to 1.5K a year to look good. i actually think that is a pretty good deal.
