Hey everyone! Got a Giulia Ti Q4 2 weeks ago. Decided to join the forum and see what people are saying/sharing.
So here's a suggestion that some of you may have already figured out. When you lease a vehicle, you have to return it an acceptable amount of wear on the tires. The Giulia Ti has run flats and they are $300+ a tire. What I do with my leases that have run flats is I immediately replace the tires with a non run flat version of my choice. I store the original tire in my basement and replace it before I turn in the car.
This does 2 things for me.
1. Allows me to get off the harsh run flats and on to a tire of the performance of my choosing.
2. Allows me to spend less money overall on tires. If I had to buy a second set of run flats it would be nearly twice the price of what I pay for the tire I chose.
Just my 2 cents that I can throw in the pot and help other folks save a few bucks and gain some performance in the process. I'd suggest throwing some fix-a-flat/tire gunk with an air compressor in the trunk just in case. That way you don't get stranded if you do encounter a flat tire after replacing the run flats.
