Sweet! Flat tire a week before lease return.

[FC]

Rear right RFT on E91 has zero psi. If I pump it, it bleeds at .5psi per second. Seems like a puncture on inner side wall.

As a result, the tire is trash.

Here are the questions I have:

1) Rear tires have 0.140" of tread left (fronts have 0.160). I'm over the .125" min, but will they bitch about tread depths being so different?

2) What's the best way to gou about it, just get the new tire from tirerack and be done, or does the dealer have to replace it? I suppose I could pump it to 50psi, and limp the 5 miles to the dealer the day of lease return but I don't see how that doesn't cost me more AND make me look like a dick.

Thoughts?

Oh yeah, and of course, today is the day my wife dropped off the MCS for the dipstick/timing chain issue. So right now our only serviceable car is the 997.
