I read the lease agreement, and tried finding this in other threads, but couldn't find this specifically:

Lucid Service found that my car has a bent wheel, and they're recommending that I get a new wheel and replace all 4 tires for various reasons, bubble, punctures etc. The question that I have is: will the lease return inspection require that I have the Michelin Pilot Sport EV summer tires on my car, or can I use another tire, maybe Michelin all seasons or something else?

I'm asking because my lease is ending in the beginning of next year, and it's really a waste buying all new tires so close to it. The total bill they quoted me is over $3,700, which is very high for it, too.
 
I would try asking them and if I needed tires I’d get them at discount tire or similar, particularly if you only need to return it with tires.
Check around here for anyone selling a wheel if one is needed.
 
You can often find used tires on Ebay which exceed min tread requirement for returnsreasonable prices, but they need to be same make and model as OEM. Same with wheels.

Very true. Just bought Pirelli PZ4 295/30-R21 (EV 102Y) on eBay for $120 shipped free via FedEx, and this is what showed up.
Never repaired, etc. I think they come from wrecked vehicles but they washed and cleaned it up nicely. Bought an OEM Sapphire wheel earlier...
