Does anyone know of a good place in bergen county to purchase used auto tires. My lease is up and have to replace 2 tires and don't want to spend the money on new tires.

im almost positive that the tires have to be the same make/model of whats on the car. So unless they are the same brand, model, you are SOL.

My wife likes to lease, and she is not very careful about big scratches and dents, so I have learned a lot about returning leased cars over the years. The only time they make a big deal out of things like this is when you return it to the dealer and don't lease another car from them.

There are two ways around this. First, if you want the same make of car, just do the return and new lease at the same time. They will overlook just about anything to keep your business. Second, if you want a different make of car, return the car to the NEW car dealer and not the one where you leased it. Most dealers will take the old leased car off your hands (even if it is a different make) to get the business on the new lease, and they will overlook just about anything for the same reason. In either case, the last thing they are worried about is the brand of tires that are on the car.

I leased a car a few years ago and when I returned it there was an allowance of a few hundred dollars for wear and tear. If you have say 40K miles on the car you could argue that's normal wear and tear for tires. The car I leased wasn't through the manufacturers leasing arm, the dealer used Chase bank. It didn't matter to me, just what the payment would be, I'd done my research and the payment and gap insurance were my concerns.
I also purchased a new car from a different make dealer but they were willing to take the lease return. I just dropped the car off and that was it.

It's completely dependent on the brand of car. Go do a release inspection, then you'll know if you will for sure be charged
