When it’s time to replace your tires, the choice can feel important. Tires affect safety and performance, and waiting too long can create risks on the road [1]. Lease-to-own with Acima Leasing can provide you with access without using credit while shopping for new tires. (Not a credit or financing transaction. Approval will require review of consumer reports.)

This guide explains what lease-to-own means for tires, how Acima Leasing fits into the process, and a few things to keep in mind about your tires before you shop.

The Role of Acima Leasing in Tire Shopping

You can apply online, through the Acima Leasing app, or in-store. Once approved, you’ll be eligible for a lease approval amount to use for shopping at the retailer within the Acima network. This can help ease the final decision on the right tires when timing is of the essence.
