I'm just guessing that you have never leased a car. If so, think of it as a long term rental car. Ever thought of replacing tires on a rental car?

The Golf (well, Rabbit) we bought in 2007 came with shit tires, pretty sure I replaced them with less than 10K miles on them. And since I replaced them in way south Texas, I'm sure they ended up on someone else's car in less than 24 hours.
