Decisions... yet another get a 2015 or wait thread

My lease is up in March, though I can turn it in any time between now and then (it was originally a two year lease, and I converted it to month to month).

The tires are the original ones, and have just shy of 35.000 miles on them, and are barely legal by now (thread depth), and I don't really care to get new tires at this point.

If the 2016s were to come out in the next month or two, no problem, I can make it. Beyond that, and I won't be very comfortable driving the car with the current tires.

So... I've seen forecasts of "September" and "October" for the 2016s... any updates on that?

I will also accept the winning lotto numbers for next weeks drawing (PM me with those). Thank you.

Maybe check with your friendly local Nissan dealer?

I don't know where Nissan is at, but my Chevy dealer tells me that his first shipment of 2016 Volts are built but haven't yet shipped.

Read your contract regarding minimum allowable tread depth. NMAC requires 4/32, more than the 2/32 allowable in most states. You may need to buy new tires anyway.

If you end up needing tires and budget is a problem, you can always look for used tires. Just know that all four should be the same model of tire when you turn the car in.

It's not that budget is a problem, I just don't want to buy new tires for a car that I will drive no more than 10K miles.

Though, I hadn't thought about used tires.

Meaning, if the tires have less than 4/32 I will be charged for new tires when I turn the car in?
