Default Re: new tires?

Here's the rtesponse I got to my similar question:

*Sienna AWD 15k RunFlat Tire Replacement*

The runflat tires on the Sienna AWD are "good" for about 15k miles and cost twice a normal tire.

I want to replace with real tires.

Anyone know where to get a donut spare? Any place to store it?

A FULL size spare will fit into the compartment that the "60" part of the 60/40 third row fold down seats normally collapses into.

I bought a good condition used stock sized 17 inch tire for $30.00 and put it on a 17 inch regular steel rim. It fits like a glove. I put a universal sized velcro wrapper / carrier on it and lay it down axle side up. This maximizes the cargo space in that compartment.

Since there is no room outside underneath the AWD models for mounting a spare, you might as well have a full size as opposed to a compact since it inconveniences the storage just about as much.

I leave the "60" of the 60/40 side third row seat up and the "40" side down. If I need to, I can pull the spare out, lower the seat into the floor and find room for the spare inside after I load whatever it is I needed to put the seat down to carry.
