Non-run flats on lease return!

Will BMW take non-run flat tires back end of lease? When they initially came with run flats.

I just placed an order on ebay to buy 2 used Pirelli tires but found out they are not run flats.

No - you need to return the car with OEM tires, and they need to have sufficient tread life remaining (consult your lease terms for what they consider sufficient - 9/32 I want to say?).

I bought Pirelli's 275/35/19 run flats with 7/32 tread for $270.

FYI:

Wheels and tires
Acceptable
• Four original, matching tires that have at least 4⁄32" tread
depth and that match the original equipment supplied
on your vehicle (speed rating, type, run-flat, brand, and size);
• Minor scuffs that fall within the inner circle, to tires that
do not affect the safety of the tire;
• Minor scuffs or nicks to wheel covers or alloys that fall within
the 4" outer circle of the Evaluator.
Unacceptable
• Tires, regardless of mileage, that have less than 4⁄32" tread depth;
• Specifications and sizes different from original equipment brand
(approved brands are Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Continental,
Dunlop, and Goodyear), type (run-flat), and speed rating;
• Recapped or retread tires;
• Tire sidewall repair plugs;
• Snow tires;
• Any tire damage affecting the safe operation of the vehicle;
• Mismatched, bent, cracked, or broken wheels, wheel covers, or alloys;
• Missing spare tire and/or spare tire that does not match
the original manufacturer’s specifications;

Thank you for that information. I too was wondering the same thing. I knew the 4/32's part though.
