Default Tire wear?

I am thinking on leasing a new IS 200t. Now that it has been out for a bit, what kind of tire wear are you experiencing with yours?

I will be doing a 24-month/24,000 mile lease and do not want to buy a set before turning it back in. Thanks in advance for your input.

Do you guys think the FSPORT stock tires are kinda thin?

Im at 41 PSI for all tires, and they all make it seem like the rim is almost touching the ground. (Maybe like an 1-1.5Inches)

that's how 18 inch wheels are going to look. compare them to any other car that comes stock with 18" wheels

I'm just concern that they aren't gonna last long. Or might pop easily.

My Mazda6 stock tires have 40k miles on it, and I still haven't changed them lol

I would not expect these tires to last 40K but I just want to get a feel for if they would last at least 2-years/24,000 on average.

Anybody else have any experience with this car and tires?

27000 miles and only half worn according to the dealership. I live in a winter state though..supposedly hot weather climates will cause the tires to wear more quickly.
